Calculate and filter
Hi,
Im trying to use the following DAX functions but I get an error.
Expenses =
Calculate (
[Transaction Amount],
FILTER ( transactions[Type] = "debit" ),
transactions[Category] <> "transfer",
transactions[Category] <> "Credit Card Payment"
)
ERROR: Too few arguments were passed to the FILTER function. The minimum argument count for the function is 2.
Please help !
Thanks in advance

Hello,
In order to use the FILTER function you must add the table which you want to filter as first argument, as shown below. Please notice that, for boolean filters (filters which the result is not a table), it's more performanic to not use the FILTER function and use the filter directly in the CALCULATE function, as you did for the other filters.
Sintax:
FILTER(<table>,<filter>)
Example:Expenses =
Calculate (
[Transaction Amount],
FILTER ( transactions, transactions[Type] = "debit" ),transactions[Category] <> "transfer",
transactions[Category] <> "Credit Card Payment"
)
Please find more details in the following link:

Hope it helps!

Hi the first argument of the Filter function should be a table, but its also not needed if the measure you calculate is the table you want to filter, try this:
Expenses =Calculate (SUM([Transaction Amount]),transactions[Type] = "debit" && transactions[Category] NOT( IN { "transfer","Credit Card Payment",""}))
