Filter issues

 

Hi, I am new in powerbi and I might missing something. I want to to add filter on this calculation and getting an error can anyone help me how to fix it?

"The expression contains multiple columns, but only a single column can be used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression."

Basicly I am adding provider names that has same calculated distance, what i have in Locations_r[Column] table.

 

In Locations_r[Column] I have distances calculated in meters.

 

Calculation:

 

Column 2 = CALCULATE(MAX(Append1[Provider]), FILTER (Append1, Append1[Provider]<>"maps" && Append1[Provider]<>"Map"  ),

 ROUND(2 * 6371000 * ASIN(SQRT( SIN((Append1[Latitude] - Locations_r [Latitude]) * PI()/360)^2 + COS(Locations_r [Latitude] * PI()/180) * COS(Append1[Latitude] * PI()/180) * SIN((Append1[Longitude] - Locations_r[Longitude]) * PI()/360)^2)), 1) = Locations_r[Column]))

 

If I use in Filter only FILTER (Append1,ROUND(2 * 6371000 * ASIN(SQRT( SIN((Append1[Latitude] ..............it works. But I want to exclude some values from calculation.

 

 

Thank you in advance.

@leopoldvili_1 Perhaps try:

Column 2 = 
  VAR __Table =
    ADDCOLUMNS(
      FILTER (Append1, Append1[Provider]<>"maps" && Append1[Provider]<>"Map"  ),
      "__Value", ROUND(2 * 6371000 * ASIN(SQRT( SIN((Append1[Latitude] - Locations_r [Latitude]) * PI()/360)^2 + COS(Locations_r [Latitude] * PI()/180) * COS(Append1[Latitude] * PI()/180) * SIN((Append1[Longitude] - Locations_r[Longitude]) * PI()/360)^2)), 1) = Locations_r[Column]
    )
RETURN
  MAXX(__Table,[Provider])

That said, I'm not entirely certain what you are going for. Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
