FILTER fuction in CALCULATE causes ALL function not working

TotalOpenOrderAmount1 = CALCULATE	([OrderAmount]-[ShippedAmount],
				ALL(CalendarDate),
				OrderLineDetail[Status]="Open")

TotalOpenOrderAmount2 = CALCULATE	([OrderAmount]-[ShippedAmount],
				ALL(CalendarDate),
				Filter(OrderLineDetail,OrderLineDetail[Status]="Open")
				)

TotalOpenOderAmount1 can be measured as expected.

But TotalOpenOrderAmount2 is still affected by Calendar filters on the report.

Why is that? Can someone help to explain it?

When you use a table name in a table function, you are in fact referring to the table as it's seen in the current filter context. So, Filter( Table, ...) sees Table as it's filtered, not the whole table. Hence you filter Table which is already filtered by the other filters.

Understandable?

Remember that
calculate(
[...],
Table[Col] = "value"
)
is syntactic sugar for
calculate(
[...],
filter(
ALL ( Table[Col] ),
Table[Col] = "value"
)
)
which is very much different from
calculate(
[...],
filter(
values ( Table[Col] ),
Table[Col] = "value"
)
)
and the latter is equivalent to
calculate(
[...],
keepfilters( Table[Col] = "value" )
)

hi @kanielwang 

Try this. It's the equivalent of TotalOpenOrderAmount1

 

TotalOpenOrderAmount2 = CALCULATE	([OrderAmount]-[ShippedAmount],
				ALL(CalendarDate),
				Filter(ALL(OrderLineDetail[Status]),OrderLineDetail[Status]="Open")
				)
