Filter does not apply properly

[knut12212]

I have an issue with this function. The function takes the maximum value from the column FC-Werte. The problem is that when I apply a filter, this maximum value does not change. In other words, the filters are not working reliably here. Why is that?

That's the measure I am referring to:

Linie FC =

VAR AktuellerMonat =

    SELECTEDVALUE( 'PBI - Nettoaufwand'[Monate (in Zahlen)] )

VAR MaxFCGefiltert =

    MAX ( 'PBI - Nettoaufwand FC'[FC Werte] )  

RETURN

DIVIDE ( MaxFCGefiltert, 12, 0 ) * AktuellerMonat

Hello @knut12212 

I would need to check your pbix to understand what you write because it sounds weird. MAX will anyway consider only what the filter context allows to see.

Can you please share the pbix? Also via private message if you prefer.

Best

Unfortunately, it does not work. I will share my table. Maybe, this way it will be easier to solve my problem.

Filter (Sales Channel -> FOA94), then 300 is the right answer. However, my current measure takes the maximum value from the column FC-Werte 640.

Hi @knut12212 

you just need to use calculate( max(....))

If this post helps, then I would appreciate a thumbs up and mark it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Hi @knut12212 

I’ve updated my answer below with your reply.

The reason your MAX doesn’t react to filters is because you used it directly:

VAR MaxFCGefiltert =
   MAX ( 'PBI - Nettoaufwand FC'[FC Werte] )

This always scans the entire column. That’s why it doesn’t change.

Fix: wrap it with CALCULATE so it respects filter context:

Could you please try this:
MaxCoefficient =
VAR SelChannel = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'PB - Nettoaufwand FC'[Sales Channel] )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
   MAX ( 'PB - Nettoaufwand FC'[C Werte] ),
   'PB - Nettoaufwand FC'[Sales Channel] = SelChannel
)

Example:

• Without CALCULATE >> Max = 400 (global).
• With CALCULATE + Filter (Monat=2) >> Max = 300 (filtered).
