Filter Pane Collective Logic
Hello Aniya, thanks for the detailed explanation. My understanding is/was just as you explained.
However my experience w/ the following example filter result is different from my understanding. In the following PBI example (before and after filtering) I am trying to filter out (exclude) rows where both the Rev $ = $0 AND the COS $ = $0 (the data source is a cube and Rev/COS are both measures in the cube). In other words I am trying to include rows where either the Rev $ <> $0 OR the COS <> $0. The before image below shows rows before filtering and the 2 after images below show the rows after 2 filter settings. The before image is good, the after 1 image is good, but I don't understand why the after 2 image has filtered out all rows when my filter logic should produce a result w/ 13 rows (no image provided).
Before
After 1 (Rev $<> $0)
After 2 (Rev $<> $0 AND COS $ <>$0)
Hi , Anonymous
I check your shared picture. I think it works in logic.
The (Rev $<> $0 AND COS $ <>$0) means when both Rev$<> $0 and COS$<>$0 conditions are met.
In your After1, you can see that when the Rev$<> $0 condition is satisfied, there is no COS$<>$0 condition, so it is empty in After2.
For the "AND" logic, it represents a case where two conditions are met at the same time, which can be understood as an intersection.

Hello Aniya, my understanding is that w/ the Rev $<> $0 AND COS $ <>$0 conditions both Rev and COS have to be $0 to exclude these rows from the result. In the Before image you will see more than several rows where the Rev and/or the COS is not $0. All these rows should be included in the After 2 result.
Your After1 observation seems incorrect. There are rows in the Before image w/ $0 Rev and non-$0 COS.
Please take another look at the Before, After1, and After2 filters and results.
Thanks.

Hi, Anonymous
The "Rev $<> $0 AND COS $ <>$0" means when we satisfy Rev$!=0 and satisfy Cos$!=0 at the same time, we can see all Cos$=0 when Rev$!=0 is in the case according to your "After 1". So when you filter "Rev$<> $0 AND COS$ <>$0" there will be empty.
If you want to filter " Rev $ = $0 AND the COS $ = $0". You can try to select the "Rev $" is 0 and "COS $" is 0.

Hello Aniya, thanks for taking the time to reply. My comments...
The Before image shows rows w/ Rev <> $0 AND w/ COS <> $0. Therefore the After 2 image should show at a minimum those rows w/ Rev <> $0 AND w/ COS <> $0. However the After 2 images shows no rows (an empty set).
You are correct that "Rev $<> $0 AND COS $ <>$0" should include only rows w/ both <> $0. I am trying to set filters that would apply Rev $<> $0 OR COS $ <>$0. I am thinking that this is not possible using the PBI filter pane filtering and its conjunctive logic.
Thanks again for you help.
