ALLEXCEPT not ignoring filters

Ultimately I am building a measure that looks like this: CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Amount]), FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Table, Table[Project]), Table[Date] <=SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Week]))) This calculates a JTD ...

    Yes, exactly. wrong copy and paste 😞

    Measure = 
var _endDate = CALCULATE(MAX('CalendarTable'[Date]))
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Project]),'Table'[Date]<= _endDate ))

Sure thing, I just created a sample file, how do I share it?

    This still returns as blank. Is the measure you provided missing the variable? You created a variable but didn't use it.

    Also, I want my selection to be the End Week, and not the Date because the data will be displayed on a graph showing JTD amounts by Week.

    Apologies, I wasn't able to get the upload to work. Possibly due to working from home.

    Here's the sample table I created:

    Project Date End Week Amount

    123450Friday, January 3, 2020Saturday, January 4, 20205
    123450Wednesday, April 1, 2020Saturday, April 4, 20208
    123450Wednesday, December 4, 2019Saturday, December 7, 201978
    234500Wednesday, February 5, 2020Saturday, February 8, 202099
    234500Sunday, March 8, 2020Saturday, March 14, 202010
    234500Thursday, January 2, 2020Saturday, January 4, 202064
    156700Thursday, January 2, 2020Saturday, January 4, 202087



    The End Week column is just the ending date of the week which corresponds to the Date (transaction date).
    I was able to replicate the issue pretty easily with this data.

    When I add the measure,

    CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]), ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Project]), FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Date]<=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[End Week])))

    and then select an End Week in the slicer, it works perfectly.
    I selected Feb 8th and the total was 333, which is the sum of all amounts before or equal to Feb 8th. 

    To test the Project filter issue, I selected Project 123450. With Feb 8th still as the selected End Week, I want it to return a value of 83 (all data before the date of Feb 8th), but instead it returns blank.

    Apologies again, hopefully this works for you.

    ok, I got it

    first, create a calendar table

    CalendarTable = CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[Date]), MAX('Table'[End Week]))

    then use as CalendarTable[Date] field as date slicer and create a measure in your table

    Measure = 
var _endDate = CALCULATE(MAX('CalendarTable'[Date]),ALLSELECTED('Table'[End Week]))
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Project]),'Table'[Date]<=SELECTEDVALUE(CalendarTable[Date]) ))

    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, you may create a calculated table with the following formula.

     

    Test = DISTINCT('Table'[End Week])

     

     

    Then you may create a measure as below.

     

    Result = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Amount]),
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED('Table'),
        'Table'[Date]<=SELECTEDVALUE('Test'[End Week])
    )
)

     

     

    Result:

     

    Best Regards

    Allan

    Thank you both! Once I created a seperate table to use as my selected dates and removed the relationship between them it works! 🙂
