Dax expression for multiple tables columns passing as a filter in calculate measure.

Anonymous — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 10:49:49 GMT

I have few tables - Date, Store, Item , product tables

From Date Table - Date(YEAR), Date(Month)
From Store Table - Store(RUName)

From Item Table - Item(itemName)
From Product Table - Product(ProductName)
And Now I have one Measure ie., [SP]

I am trying to retrieve the [SP] data with all above filter values

Can I get some logic, how I can pass all those filters in DAX

Anonymous , if the table which has the base columns [SP] is joined with these tables/dimensions. And these dimensions are fitting that table (on the many side in on to many, and have bi-direction join in case of many to many). Then slicer should automatically filter the measure

Hi Anonymous ,

I think there should be a data table with [Year], [Month] or [YearMonth]/[Date],[RUName],[ItemName],[ProductName] and [Value] columns in it. Measure [SP] is based on [Value] column in data table.

So, if you create relationships as amitchandak mentioned, you can filter [SP] measure by slicer or filter by columns in these four tables.

Relationship Sample should looks like as below. These four tables are Dim tables.

Date[YearMonth]/[Date] - Data[YearMonth]/[Date]
Store[RUName] - Data[RUName]

Item[itemName] - Data[itemName]
Product[ProductName] - Data[ProductName]

If Date table and Data table only has [Year] and [Month] instead of [YearMonth] or [Date]. There could only be one active relationship. So you can try USERELATIONSHIO function in DAX.

SP = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Data'[Value] ), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Date'[Month], 'Data'[Month] ) )

If there are no relationships between your Data table and these four Dimtables, you can try this code.

SP = VAR _SELECTYEAR = VALUES ( 'Date'[Year] ) VAR _SELECTMONTH = VALUES ( 'Date'[Month] ) VAR _SELECTRUName = VALUES ( 'Store'[RUName] ) VAR _SELECTItemName = VALUES ( 'Item'[itemName] ) VAR _SELECTProductName = VALUES ( 'Product'[ProductName] ) RETURN CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Data'[Value] ), FILTER ( 'Data', 'Data'[Year] IN _SELECTYEAR && 'Data'[Month] IN _SELECTMONTH && 'Data'[RUName] IN _SELECTRUName && 'Data'[itemName] IN _SELECTItemName && 'Data'[ProductName] IN _SELECTProductName ) )

Then you can filter [SP] by slicers or filters from columns in these four dimtables as well.
