Filter Pane Collective Logic

Hello Members, I am hoping there is a simple answer to the following question.    Do the pbi filters on the filters pane function together as conjunctioned filters (AND) or disjunctioned filters (O...

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.

        Hi, Anonymous 

        You are right .Only for the oringle filter pane, it cannot be realized your need "Rev $<> $0 OR COS $ <>$0".

        For your need , I have a method for you , you can try .

        Here is my test data :

        We can create a measure :

        Flag = IF([Rev $] <> 0 || [COS $] <> 0 ,1,0)

        Then wen put this measure on the "Filter on this visual" and configure it , then we will meet your need :
