DAX FILTER SYNTAX

[Anonymous]

Hello all , 

I need your help please

I  have two tables - orders and products category 

products culumns  category , sub_category ,  product_id  ( product_id  can be in many sub_categories)

orders culumns - cust_id , order_date ,product_id , category , sub_category 

how can I create a measure that showes only orders of products that have more than one sub_category ?

Why do both of your tables have fields "category" and "sub_category"? Is it not enough to store these is the Products dimension?

You can't create a relationship between 2 tables on many columns. Secondly, slicing Orders by category and sub_category should be carried out via Products where these columns (should) reside. Please note that slicing should NEVER be done directly on a fact table, only via dimensions. If you don't follow the rules, you'll be sorry rather sooner than later. Even better, you'll be creating complex and potentially slow DAX which at times will return wrong results without you even realizing this.

Consider yourself warned (for your own good).

By the way... If your products belong to many subcategories, then you should have a hidden bridge table from ProductId to SubcategoryId which will join to Products and Subcategories on both sides and slicing should be then performed via Products and/or Subcategories.

Something along the lines of:

Measure =
  VAR __Products = 
    FILTER(
      GROUPBY(
        'products culumns',
        [product_id],
        "Count",COUNTX(CURRENTGROUP(),[sub_category])
      ),
      [Count]>1
    )
RETURN
  <some calculation where FILTER('orders culumns',[product_id] IN __Products) >
