Use CALCULATE and VALUES function to omit column values.

Hi.

 

I just wanted to know whether using CALCULATE and DAX, can we create a measure such that a specific column value is ignored.

 

I have a table called 'Environment Name' and "Quantitiy'.

Environment Table contains names as 'Air','Water' and 'Land'.

 I want to create 3 measures each for Air, Water and Land such that the first measure(Air) can have just the values from Water and Land and vice versa.

 

I have tried doing the same using two DAX queries, but I am not getting a s atisfactory solution.

2 ways which I used to write the query is given below;

 

1)No Air = CALCULATE(SUM(Purchase[Quantity]),VALUES(Environment[EnvironmentName])<>"Air")

 
2)No Air = CALCULATE(SUM(Purchase[Quantity]),Environment[EnvironmentName]<>"Air")
 
If anyone knows how to solve this, then please tell.

@SanketBhagwat , Try like

CALCULATE(SUM(Purchase[Quantity]),filter(Environment, Environment[EnvironmentName]<>"Air"))

 

assuming slicer is no filtering the value

 

else

 

CALCULATE(SUM(Purchase[Quantity]),filter(all(Environment), Environment[EnvironmentName]<>"Air"))

 

 

or

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

if needed check

Hi Amit.

The query

'CALCULATE(SUM(Purchase[Quantity]),filter(Environment, Environment[EnvironmentName]<>"Air"))' worked perfectly fine.

Thanks for the help!
