CountRows() function not responding to filter context

Found the issue in a complicated measure and then tested with only CountRows() along with a Calculate(). When I change slicer selections CountRows() always showed the result of the whole table but Calculate() gave the filtered table.

 

TopN() has same issue.

@harryhhj , hope you are using

CountRows(table)

 

refer for TOPN

Thanks Amitchandak, what I found in my testing is calculate(distinctcount(topN(allexcept(table, column1))) didn't respond to slicers on column1 correctly. I didn't test more but feel that many functions don't work correctly with filter context (very likely a bug).
