Exclude Select ALL option for a field in a calculation

[anamika_singh]

Hello,

I am trying to create a calculated column and have to exclude Select All option from  the logic for that specific field. I have targets only for individual values and not all, meaning when all values are selected in the filter, the target should be blank. Please note that i cannot use single select option as i have other calculations which gets impacted. 

Please see details below:

Region	Country	Target			Reg A- target is only at country level for AA & AC countries
A	AA	20			Reg B- target is only at country level for BB country
A	AB				Reg C-target is at region level
A	AC	30
B	BA
B	BB	50			If Region A is selected and all countries selected, target should be blank
B	BC				If Region A is selected and either AA or AC countries selected, target should be as mentioned
C	CB				If Region A is selected and AB country is selected, then Target should be blank
C	CA	60
C	CC	60			I have to create a calculation for Target based on specified criteria and  then compare Target vs actuals

You cant do that with a calculated column as it isn't aware of any slicer selections. Its value will not change no matter what you select in the slicer.

Hi @anamika_singh  ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community. Also thank you @danextian and @lbendlin  for your inputs.

This scenario can be handled using a DAX measure instead of a calculated column. In Power BI, when all values in a slicer are selected, it behaves like no filter is applied. To exclude the "Select All" case, you can create a measure that compares the number of selected countries with the total countries in the selected region. If all are selected, the measure returns blank; otherwise, it returns the appropriate target value.

This ensures your targets display only when specific countries are selected, without impacting other calculations.
