DAX FILTER with multiple criteria

Hi everyone,   I really need help here. I need to calculate a measure and for doing so need to apply multiple filters to obtain the desired value.   I already tried some options suggested in this...

    Hi,

    Calculate has a built in [filter] places in its expression and thus you don't need to add FILTER to your calculation. Something like this should work:

    Back Charge Int.Cost =
    CALCULATE(
    SUM('Back Charge Data'[Back Charge Cost]),
    all('Back Charge Data'),
    'Back Charge Data'[OPL] in {"CECO", "METALLIC", "STAR"},
    'Back Charge Data'[Selling Brand] in {"Drafting", "Engineering"}
    )

    Here I added ALL to remove other filters affecting the calculation. 

    I hope this helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting this post as a solution and giving it a thumbs up!

    I don't see anything necessarily wrong with your DAX although it would be a bit more efficient to write it like this:

    Back Charge Int.Cost =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Back Charge Data'[Back Charge Cost] ),
    KEEPFILTERS ( 'Back Charge Data'[OPL] IN { "CECO", "METALLIC", "STAR" } ),
    KEEPFILTERS ( 'Back Charge Data'[Selling Brand] IN { "Drafting", "Engineering" } )
)

     

    Can you explain what you mean by "my DAX doesn't work"? Are you getting an error? Are you expecting it to act differently?

     

    Are you looking for a version that replaces local filters rather than adding to them like this?

    Back Charge Int.Cost =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Back Charge Data'[Back Charge Cost] ),
    'Back Charge Data'[OPL] IN { "CECO", "METALLIC", "STAR" },
    'Back Charge Data'[Selling Brand] IN { "Drafting", "Engineering" }
)

Thank you ValtteriN for explaining filtering within CALCULATE so efficiently. My DAX is now cleaner.
