Check if table is filtered but ignore one column

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
