    It works fine ! Thanks


    Before asking on the forum, I tried SELECTEDVALUE but I put it in the CALCULATE expression, and it did not work.

    So, The solution seems to use SELECTEDVALUE in a VAR expression...

      If you want to attain the same behaviour without variables then you will have to use explicit FILTER, for example.

       

      Measure =
CALCULATE (
    [Total Sales],
    FILTER (
        ALL ( Product[Brand] ),
        Product[Brand] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Product[Brand] )
    )
)

       

      Because writing aggregation functions like SUM, AVERAGE, MAX are not allowed while doing boolean filter operations, and same is for SELECTEDVALUE, hence the following won't work.

       

      Measure =
CALCULATE (
    [Total Sales],
    'Product'[Brand] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Product'[Brand] )
)

        There's also the added complexity with FILTER (ALL()) - that may produce more results than intended in the visual context.
