Filter for multiple values using a measure _ DAX Expression Help
I'm having a hard time figuring out what is wrong with my calculation other than its hideousness...
MEASURE: Stop Time Per Unit:=[Total Stop Time]/[Total Machines]
Now I need to add up all the process groups that fall under/contribute to that stop time:
STPU Overall:=CALCULATE([Stop Time Per Unit],DimID[Cause Group]="",DimID[Cause Group]="Unknown",DimID[Cause Group]="Supply Chain", DimID[Cause Group]="Design",DimID[Cause Group]="Engineering",etc, etc, etc, for the other 11 cause groups.)
Is there a better more efficient way of doing this? I guess I should also mention that when I add it up like this... it is: = BLANK
Thanks DAX experts
Hi groffia,
If you have to list the values explicitly, you can try it out like this:
STPU Overall:= CALCULATE ( [Stop Time Per Unit], DimID[Cause Group] IN { BLANK (), "Unknown", "Supply Chain", "Design", "Engineering", "etc" } )If the measure can read the values from a column, you can try it like this:
a = CALCULATE ( [Stop Time Per Unit], DimID[Cause Group] IN VALUES ( 'table1'[column] ) )Note: table1 could be created by formula or by hand.

I knew there was a simpler way... your solution worked flawlessly. Thank you for your help!

Hi Dale v-jiascu-msft, what if I want to use the values from that other table and do some calculation like below , its not working as I have written here ... please let me know if you need me to explain my scenario more?
a = CALCULATE ( [Stop Time Per Unit] * values('table1[column2]), DimID[Cause Group] IN VALUES ( 'table1'[column] ) )never mind made it to work refering to this link https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/DAX-Using-variables-inside-iterators-such-as-SUMX/td-p/521044
Yes, I realize it is a redundancy... but unfortunately necessary.
