    Hi ChemEnger 

    for example, you can try to add a column

    Department has Overdue records = 
var _count = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table), ALLEXCEPT(Table, Table[Department]), Table[Count of Overdue] > 0)
RETURN
IF(_count > 0, TRUE(), FALSE())

    then filter by this column

Thanks az38,

 

I got an error when I tried to use the expression as you'd suggested:

"A function 'CALCULATE' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed."

 

I think this is because the [Count of Overdue] that I had was a measure, not a column.  I tweaked it slightly and got exactly what I needed:

Department has Overdue records =
var _count = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table), ALLEXCEPT(Table, Table[Department]), Table[Outcome]="Overdue")
return
IF(_count > 0, TRUE(), FALSE())

 

All sorted now and working perfectly with the new column as a filter 👍
