Keep multiple filters in Measure

I feel like I'm missing something very obvious. I'm writing a Percent of Grand Total Measure. I have a Slicer and a Filter on my report that I need my denominator to respect in regards to the "Grand Total". When I write my Calculate statement with a single "All Except" the correct total value is returned, when I try to combine both All Excepts, I end up with the actual total of all items (as if there were not filters applied). What am I missing?

 

Measure = DIVIDE(
   VAR AssignedComputers = COUNTDISTINCT('Computers'[SystemName])
   VAR AllSystems = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Computers[System_Name]), 
                        ALLEXCEPT(Computers, Computers[is IT]),
                        ALLEXCEPT(Computers, 'Lumnion Table'[Software_Name])
                    )

RETURN
   DIVIDE(AssignedComputers, AllSystems)

Hi @Anonymous 

 There is no need for two ALLEXCEPT, you can add multiple columns in a single ALLEXCEPT like below.

Measure = 
VAR AssignedComputers = DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Computers'[SystemName] )
VAR AllSystems = 
    CALCULATE(
        DISTINCTCOUNT( Computers[System_Name] ), 
        ALLEXCEPT( Computers, Computers[is IT], 'Lumnion Table'[Software_Name] )
    )
RETURN
   DIVIDE( AssignedComputers, AllSystems )

uh.... I did state I thought I was missing something obvious... 🙂

 

Thanks, I did not realize it would take multiple arguements referncing different tables, in hindsight its obvious.
