Changing the Selection within Calculate()
- 7 years ago
The issue here that that you are generating conflicting filters on the 'data table' table. If you exclude Government from the Comparison Providers, but then select a Scorecard provider that only contains data for Government you end up filtering out all the rows in 'Data Table'.
If the behaviour that you want is for the scorecard measures to ignore the comparison provider selection, the you could do this by wrapping your scorecard measures with another CALCULATE() and use the CROSSFILTER() function to "turn off" the relationship.
Note: you will need to do this for both [Scrd Price Per Unit] and [Tot Scrd Cases]
eg
Scrd Price Per Unit = CALCULATE(
CALCULATE(
AVERAGE('DataTable'[Price per Unit]), FILTER('DataTable', 'DataTable'[ProviderID] = SELECTEDVALUE(ScorecardProvider[ProvdrID]))
) ,CROSSFILTER('ComparisonProviders'[ProvdrNo], 'DataTable'[ProviderID], None) )Tot Scrd Cases = CALCULATE(
CALCULATE(
SUM('DataTable'[TotalUnits]), FILTER('DataTable', 'DataTable'[ProviderID] = SELECTEDVALUE(ScorecardProvider[ProvdrID]))) ,CROSSFILTER(ComparisonProviders[ProvdrNo], 'DataTable'[ProviderID], None)
)

d_gosbell Well I'll be darn...I had no idea what to do with crossfilter nor the sequence of nested Calculate actions. It makes sense that the outer Calculate sets the selection for the inner Calculate but I've not done that before. Incredibly useful and a welcome solution. Thank you very much, Tom

Yes, I've used the crossfilter function a few times, but the nested calculates is not actually a technique that I've used much either. But it's handy when you need to change the filter context of an inner calculate() call.
