Calculate all invoices except "Cancelled"

Hi, 

 

I am very new to DAX and Power Pivot and I'm trying to build a measure where I count all the invoices with status "open", "sent", "paid" and "overdue". I want my measure to ignore "cancelled" status of invoices. 

 

I created this, but I am worried that it's inefficient because it uses Filter funcion in my measure. 

=CALCULATE(SUM(f_invoices[revenue_czk]),

   FILTER(f_invoices,

      f_invoices[invoice_status]= "open" ||

      f_invoices[invoice_status]= "paid" ||

      f_invoices[invoice_status]= "sent" ||

      f_invoices[invoice_status]= "overdue"

))

 

Is it OK to use filter in such scenario or would you suggest something to make my measure more simple and resources efficient? 

Thank you 🙏

hi @Peter65f1 

it is OK. 

you may make it more concise like this

measure = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(f_invoices[revenue_czk]),
        f_invoices[invoice_status] IN  {"open", "paid", "sent" , "overdue"}
)
or
measure =
CALCULATE(
SUM(f_invoices[revenue_czk]),
f_invoices[invoice_status] <> "cancelled"
)
