    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Using all will clear all context filtering conditions.

    Choosing to use all or allexcept depends on the results you expect.

    There is only one state where you can choose to use all.

    Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[source]="a"))

    There are several states that can choose to use allexcept

    Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[state]),'Table'[source]="a"))

     

    Best Regards,
    Liang

Anonymous - You will need to use ALLEXCEPT in order to exclude certain filters from affecting your measure. Would be easier to be specific with sample data and expected output:

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
