    Hi anguyen83,

    The filter is used to remove the row where there is null cell in any column, you should add filter in the table rather than column. I list a simple example to filter the table. The first screenshot is my table, I filter the table using the formula and get the second expected result.

    Table 2 = CALCULATETABLE(Table1,FILTER(Table1,Table1[Total]<>BLANK()))


     

    So you’d better amend the table in your expression. Replace the ‘Lead’ table as the following table.

    New Lead=CALCULATETABLE('Lead',FILTER('Lead',[LS1_Timestamp__c].[Date]<>BLANK()&&"Account_Id"<>BLANK()&&[ID]<>BLANK()))


    If you have any question, please let me know.


    Best Regards,
