DAX equivalent of SQL's NOT IN?

There's an extremely similar equivalent for SQL's IN - I have no imagination, so an example extremely similar to the last one I actually wrote: 

 

Card Sales =
CALCULATE (
    [total valid spend],
    FILTER ( payments, paymentypeid = 7 && paymentprocessorID IN { 1, 5, 6, 9 } )
)

NOT IN doesn't work - what's the simpliest DAX equivalent of SQL's NOT IN? 

 

Thanks!

Hi @mmace1,

 

You need to place the NOT formula on the column and then use the in to make the level you need.

 

So you measure should look something like this:

MEASURE NOT IN =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Table1[Value] );
    FILTER (
        Table1;
        Table1[Category] = "C"
            && NOT ( Table1[CAT LEVEL] ) IN { 2; 3 }
    )
)

As you can see below in category C the total is 1500 if you took out the category 2 and 3 it's 1000.

How hard is it to have "Not IN" ?   At least for the sake of consistency !

I have a similar problem.
I want to return the plates that do not appear in this other table. However, the error below appears, follow my formula of the measure.

cars without service = CALCULATE (VALUES ('3A_CHAMADO_SERVICOS_CAL_VIEW (2)' [License Plate]);
FILTER (GWT_CARTAO_EQUIPAMENTO; NOT (
VALUES (GWT_CARTAO_EQUIPAMENTO [Plate])) in {VALUES ('3A_CHAMADO_SERVICOS_CAL_VIEW (2)' [Plate]))))

 

Helpp

Error Message:
MdxScript(Model) (37, 44) Erro de cálculo na medida '_Medidas'[carros sem serviço]:Uma tabela de vários valores foi fornecida, sendo que um único valor era esperado.

or COUNTROWS
carros sem serviço = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(VALUES(GWT_CARTAO_EQUIPAMENTO[Placa]));
FILTER(GWT_CARTAO_EQUIPAMENTO; NOT(
VALUES(GWT_CARTAO_EQUIPAMENTO[Placa])) in VALUES('3A_CHAMADO_SERVICOS_CAL_VIEW (2)'[Placa])))
 
 
it also doesn't work.

I solved this by using excel as a source. Following this method I don't have to work with HTML code in my power query to get all the sheets

Hi @arneh,

 

Believe that you have make this answer on the incorrect post. This post has nothing to do with linking to google sheets or excel.

Typo on your measure name (it's not 2 & 3, but the Measure title says not 1 & 2). 

 

Exactly the syntax I was looking for, thanks!

Hi @mmace1,

 

Nice catch on the typo. 

 

But other than that believe it works like you want correct?
