    Hi rhcentennialh ,

     

    We use the following measure and get the expected result:

     

    Not identified by Outside = 
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Code] )
        IN SELECTCOLUMNS ( FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [Internal vs Outside] = "Internal" ), "c", [Code] ),
    BLANK (),
    "YES"
)

     

     

     

    BTW, pbix as attached.

    Hi rhcentennialh ,

     

    Can it filter the data you want if we put the following measure into the Visual Filter then set the condition as greater than zero?  Please try it without the measure in the value filed of table visual.

     

    Not identified by Outside 2 = 
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Code] )
        IN SELECTCOLUMNS ( FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [Internal vs Outside] = "Internal" ), "c", [Code] ),
    0 ,
    1
)

I found what my issue is, my "Internal vs Outside" column in the actual file is a calculated column that does a simple IF statement to determine what bucket the code should fall in. When i try to input the solution into my file this calculated column appears to break it. 

 

Do you have a solution for doing the same thing but using a calculated column for "Internal vs Outside"?

Hi rhcentennialh ,

 

The formula should also work if the "Internal vs Outside" is a calculated column, maybe you mean it is a measure? We can try to use the following formula :

 

Not identified by Outside =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Code] )
        IN SELECTCOLUMNS (
            FILTER (
                ADDCOLUMNS ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), "IO", [Internal vs Outside] ),
                [IO] = "Internal"
            ),
            "c", [Code]
        ),
    BLANK (),
    "YES"
)
