Card visual should not be affected by chosen values in the Month Filter, but that's not easy?

Hi Guys

I have created this Dax calculated Date Table:

DateTable =

VAR MaxDate = TODAY()

VAR CalendarTable = CALENDAR(DATE(2022, 1, 1), MaxDate)

RETURN

    ADDCOLUMNS (

        CalendarTable,

        "DateText", FORMAT([Date], "ddmmyyyy"),

        "Year", YEAR([Date]),

        "Week", WEEKNUM([Date], 21),

        "Month", FORMAT([Date], "mmmm"),

        "Month No.”, MONTH([Date]),

        "Quarter", FORMAT([Date], "\QQ"),

        "YTD", IF(YEAR([Date]) = YEAR(MaxDate), 1, 0),

        "Today", IF([Date] = MaxDate, 1, 0),

        "MonthYear", FORMAT([Date], "mm-yyyy"),

        "CurrentYear",

        IF(

            YEAR([Date]) = YEAR(MaxDate),

            "CurrentYear",

            FORMAT(YEAR([Date]), "0")

        ),

        "CurrentMonth",

        IF(

            MONTH([Date]) = MONTH(MaxDate),

            "CurrentMonth",

            FORMAT([Date], "MMM")

        ),

        "ClosedDates",

        IF(

            LOOKUPVALUE('Finance'[DateClosed], 'Finance'[Date], [Date]) = TRUE(),

            FORMAT([Date], "MMMM"),

            BLANK()

        ),

        "Sort By",

        IF(

            LOOKUPVALUE('Finance'[DateClosed], 'Finance'[Date], [Date]) = TRUE(),

            FORMAT([Date], "MM-YYYY"),

            ""

        ),

        "Index",

        RANKX(FILTER(CalendarTable, [Date] <= EOMONTH(MaxDate, -2)), [Date], , ASC, Dense)

    )



And another Dax calculated Date table, which is;

 

 

DateTableFilter =

VAR MaxDate = TODAY()

VAR CalendarTable = CALENDAR(DATE(2022, 1, 1), MaxDate)

RETURN

    ADDCOLUMNS (

        FILTER(CalendarTable,

            NOT(ISBLANK(

                LOOKUPVALUE('Finance'[DateClosed], 'Finance'[Date], [Date])

            )) &&

            LOOKUPVALUE('Finance'[DateClosed], 'Finance'[Date], [Date]) <> FALSE()

        ),

        "DateText", FORMAT([Date], "ddmmyyyy"),

        "Year", YEAR([Date]),

        "Week", WEEKNUM([Date], 21),

        "Month", FORMAT([Date], "mmmm"),

        "Month No.", MONTH([Date]),

        "Quater", FORMAT([Date], "\QQ"),

        "YTD", IF(YEAR([Date]) = YEAR(MaxDate), 1, 0),

        "Today", IF([Date] = MaxDate, 1, 0),

        "Monthyear", FORMAT([Date], "mm-yyyy"),

        "CurrentYear",

        IF(

            YEAR([Date]) = YEAR(MaxDate),

            "CurrentYear",

            FORMAT(YEAR([Date]), "0")

        ),

        "ClosedDates",

        FORMAT([Date], "MMMM"),

        "Sort By",

        FORMAT([Date], "MM-YYYY"),

        "Index",

        RANKX(FILTER(CalendarTable, [Date] <= EOMONTH(MaxDate, -2)), [Date], , ASC, Dense)

    )

 

The tables have the following relationships:

DateTableFilter (1-to-Many) -> DateTable

DateTable (1-to-Many) -> Finance


in the DateTableFilter table I have a measure;

ClosedDatesNoFilter =

MAXX(

    VALUES(DateTableFilter[ClosedDates]),

    DateTableFilter[ClosedDates]

)

 

This measure I’d like to use for a Card visual on a report page. Though the measure returns the correct value, but on the same page I have a month filter made up of the ClosedDates column in the same table, and when a value is selected in the month filter the Card value changes accordingly which is not what I’m wishing for. I’ve even tried removing the interaction between the month filter [ClosedDates] and the Card visual [ClosedDatesNoFilter] but that just messes with the Card value, and returns another date than expected.

What am I missing or doing wrong here?

Use measures to modify (or circumvent) filter context.  Read about ALL, ALLSELECTED, REMOVEFILTERS etc.

I found a work around that does the work, eventhough i'd rather understand why the right way didn't work 😁

But thanks for the help @lbendlin 🙏

I tried that but it didn't work as expected. I might be doing something wrong 🤷‍♂️😊

Are you able to provide a sample PBIX that illustrates the issue?
