Hi,
I have a variable in a measure that is supposed to check whether a table is filtered or not and then return a string:
Var _Item = IF( ISFILTERED( DIM_item ), "| item" )
However, I need to apply a global filter on all report pages on the column DIM_item[relevant]. Doing this makes the variable always return the string since the condition is always true. However, this is not what I need. I want the variable to ignore the filter von DIM_item[relevant].
I already tried:
Var _Item = IF( ISFILTERED( DIM_item ) && NOT ISFILTERED( DIM_item[isKPIRelevant] ), "| item" )
But when filtering another column in DIM_item, the variable returns nothing (which makes sense since the condition is not true).
Anyone having another suggestion?
Cheers

Hi @Mo_ ,
Based on your description, I have created the following MEASURES that you can try to see if they fulfill your requirements.
Measure =
IF(
CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( DIM_item ), ALLSELECTED( DIM_item ), REMOVEFILTERS( DIM_item[isKPIRelevent] ) ) <> CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( DIM_item ), ALLSELECTED( DIM_item ) ),
"| item"
)Measure 2 =
IF(
ISFILTERED(DIM_item) &&
NOT HASONEFILTER(DIM_item[isKPIRelevent]), "| item")Measure 3 =
VAR IsKPIRelevantFiltered = NOT ISFILTERED(DIM_item[isKPIRelevent])
VAR _Item =
IF(
ISFILTERED(DIM_item) &&
IsKPIRelevantFiltered
, "| item")
RETURN
_Item

Hi @Anonymous ,
you first suggestion works, except I had to replace "<>" with "=".
Thank you so much!
Cheers
