Filtering table

As a beginner in DAX I have this report that can be filtered on a specific year and some other filters. But I want to calculate a measure that is a snapshot, not depending on a specific year or other shown filters. I tried using 'ALL' and 'Calculate', but don't get the right answer. So I need some help 😉

 

I use a fact-table 'Paymentschemtable' (with a column PaymentID, SchemStatus and Contract-ID), which is filtered by another table 'Contracts' (with colums Contract ID and ContractStatus). I need to calculate the total PaymentID's, where SchemStatus=0 and ContractStatus <>"Ended". I made this measure, but the result is always the totalrows PAYMENTSCHEM where SCHEMSTATUS=0:

 

Measure =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
ALL(PAYMSCHEMETABLE),
PAYMSCHEMETABLE[SCHEMSTATUS]=0
)
),
CONTRACTS[ContractStatus]<>"Ended"
)

Thanks Jos!

 

That's the solution I was looking for! I forgot to add the '

ALL(PAYMSCHEMETABLE),'. It did the trick.

Hi,

MeasureALL =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( PAYMSCHEMETABLE ),
    ALL ( PAYMSCHEMETABLE ),
    PAYMSCHEMETABLE[SCHEMSTATUS] = 0,
    CONTRACTS[ContractStatus] <> "Ended"
)

Regards

Thanks Jos!
