ALLEXCEPT stops working as expected when i remove a field from my visual. What am i missing?
I'm trying to create a "Market Size" formula that calculates the relevant market size per brand.
"Market Size" is considered as the sum of sales for all countries that brand is sold in.
Example: If a brand sells in the UK & France, i want to return the SUM of Sales for all brands within UK & France.
I’ve been using ALLEXCEPT, and this works fine when I have the Country field in my visual, but if take it out of my table it no longer works as expected, and instead returns the SUM of Sales for the entire dataset, for every row in my visual.
Every search I do comes back to ALLEXCEPT, but I’m clearly missing something, or using the wrong formula.
My calculation is:
CALCULATE( SUM('Sales'[Sales]), ALLEXCEPT('Sales', 'Sales'[Country]) )
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ALLEXCEPT is a rather blunt tool. Try something more surgical like REMOVEFILTERS.
Var countries = values( 'Sales'[Country] )
Return
CALCULATE(
SUM('Sales'[Sales]),
ALLSELECTED(),
countries
)
