    Hi Anonymous 

    See the attached PBIX.

     

    First, you should ensure the model is set up like this (which I imagine it already is):

     

    Then create this measure:

    Count by mainitem = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table A'[count] ),
    REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Item' ),
    VALUES ( 'Item'[Mainitemid] )
)

    This measure sums 'Table A'[count] for the values of 'Item'[Mainitemid] corresponding to the visible rows of 'Item', but removing any other filters on the 'Item' table.

     

    Regards

Hi OwenAuger, 

 

Thanks for your quick reply. 
I am getting an error on REMOVEFILTERS, 


"Cannot find name 'REMOVEFILTERS'
'REMOVEFILTERS' is not a function."

 

I am using direct query to access data and there is a connection between the tabels like you describe (My model is more complex then this but I scaled down to only highlight the importnat parts. 

I replaced REMOVEFILTER with ALL and from what i can se this is giving me the deciered result. 

Thanks

    Glad to hear it's working (using ALL rather than REMOVEFILTERS).

    These functions are indeed equivalent when used in this way.

     

    If REMOVEFILTERS is unavailable, I'm guessing you are connecting to an older version of Analysis Services Tabular.

     

    For reference, the compatibility for DAX functions can be found on dax.guide:
