Filtering based on two calculated columns using OR

I have two calculated columns with results either showing "yes" or "no" based on due dates.  How can I filter to show results that are Yes for column A   OR       Yes for Column B

 

Column A         Column B 

Yes                    No

No                    No

Yes                   No

Yes                   Yes

Yes                   Yes

Need Help

    jcastr02 , Try a measure like

    calculate(countrows(Table), filter(Table, table[Column A] = "Yes" || table[Column B] = "Yes"))

        jcastr02 , I suggested a measure.

        For a column 

        if(table[Column A] = "Yes" || table[Column B] = "Yes" , "Include", "Exclude") // One is yes

         

        or

         

        if(table[Column A] = "Yes" && table[Column B] = "Yes" , "Include", "Exclude") // Both should be yes

    In the query editor, add a new custom column with a formula like this and then filter on it.

     

    = if [Column A] = "Yes" or [Column B] = "Yes" then "Keep" else "Remove"

      mahoneypat   Thank you for help.   Since they are two calculated columns, they don't come up under the "available columns" for me to select from.  any guidance would be appreciated.

    Hi jcastr02 ,

     

    You can simply create a measure with your conditions and then use it in filter.

    Create new measure using below DAX:

    Filter Measure = IF(MAX('Table'[ColumnA]) = "Yes" || MAX('Table'[ColumnB]) = "Yes",1,0)

      Hello Anand, thanks for the help  Anand24     See below.  I am seeing all of them are being included.... the one in red should not be included because they are both "no"         Looking for if either column is a Yes, then it should be included.  I appreciate any guidance.

        jcastr02 ,

         

        The DAX and method I mentioned in my first comment will give you result from the Report view.

        From your screenshot, you seem to be present at the Data View. You will need to create a calculated column to filter out.

         

        Step 1: Create Calculted Column using below DAX:

        Filter Column = IF('Table'[ColumnA] = "Yes" || 'Table'[ColumnB] = "Yes","Keep","Remove")

         

        Step 2: Filter new column with only "Keep"
