DAX to only include rows outside of filter context

[Jim_PBI]

Hi all,

I'm stuck on a DAX issue relating to filter context - have tried a few ways with little success. 

I'm building the table below in Power BI which only allows single select on the slicer, which in this case is Kitchen. I'm struggling to calculate the last column 'Other Active Products' which sums all of the rows for the sales agent which do not equal kitchen but all other filters will be applied. 

Sales Agent	Product	Volume Sold	Other Active Products
Sales agent 1	Kitchen	1	2
Sales agent 2	Kitchen	13	1
Sales agent 3	Kitchen	22	4

An example of the underlying data is below and I'm trying to sum 'Active Product'.

Sales Agent	Product	Active Product	Volume Sold
Sales agent 1	Kitchen	1	1
Sales agent 1	Sofa	1	4
Sales agent 1	TV	0	7
Sales agent 1	Bathroom	1	10
Sales agent 2	Kitchen	1	13
Sales agent 2	Sofa	1	16
Sales agent 2	TV	0	19
Sales agent 3	Kitchen	1	22
Sales agent 3	Sofa	1	25
Sales agent 3	TV	0	28
Sales agent 3	Bathroom	1	31
Sales agent 3	Bed	1	34

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Please consider and adapt this solution and click the thumbs up and accepts the the solution

Other products =

VAR myproduct = SELECTEDVALUE(Facts[Product])

VAR mysubset = FILTER(
  ALL(Facts[Product]),
   Facts[Product] <> myproduct)

RETURN

CALCULATE(

SUM(Facts[Volume Sold]),

mysubset)

How it works:-

myproduct gets the single product you have selected (eg Kitchen)

mysubset use the ALL commnd to get all records, but then filters the records not = kitchen

The CALCULATE then sums the volume sold just for the subset.

You can adapt just for active products if required.

I think this is very close to what I need so thank you for the response. In my real life scenario my data model is across two tables with a DIM table for the sales agents with a many to one relationship using the unique key. The slicer on the page is for the 'Sales Agent' from the DIM table and I believe this is stopping the DAX working correctly on the FACT table. I have included my DIM table below. 

Unique Key	Sales Agent
123	Sales agent 1
124	Sales agent 2
125	Sales agent 3

Hi @Jim_PBI 

Due to you use All function, you need to add a filter 'Table'[Sales Agent]=MAX('Table'[Sales Agent]) in your code to calculate sum 'Active Product' for each Sales Agent. 

Other Active Products =
VAR _SELECTVALUE =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Product] )
VAR _SUM =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Active Product] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Product] <> _SELECTVALUE
                && 'Table'[Sales Agent] = MAX ( 'Table'[Sales Agent] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    _SUM

Result is as below.
