Hello all,
I'm trying to apply multiple filter conditions in the DAX formula, but getting syntax error.
Filter condition 1: Asset[Program] = "Primary Assets"
Filter condition 2: Asset[Category] IN ("ASM", "NSN","TPG","STB")
This part is execueted correctly without any error:
------------------------------------------------------
evaluate filter( SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
Asset[Type],
Asset[Program],
Asset[Category],
Sales[Period],
Sales[Quantity])
, Asset[Program] = "Primary Assets")
But I want to include 2nd filter condition in the DAX but it's not working i.e.
(Asset[Category] = "NSN" OR
Asset[Category] = "NSN" OR
Asset[Category] = "TPG" OR
Asset[Category] = "STB")
Could you please tell me how to add 2nd condtion to the above DAX formula with OR operator.
My expected output should be somting like this:
evaluate filter( SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
Asset[Type],
Asset[Program],
Asset[Category],
Sales[Period],
Sales[Quantity])
, Asset[Program] = "Primary Assets"
below condition need to be included in the DAX
OR Asset[Category] = "NSN"
OR Asset[Category] = "NSN"
OR Asset[Category] = "TPG"
OR Asset[Category] = "STB"
)
Thanks

Hi @Deeintu
You can tweak your current syntax to apply Filter Condition 1 OR Filter Condition 2:
EVALUATE
FILTER (
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (
Asset[Type],
Asset[Program],
Asset[Category],
Sales[Period],
Sales[Quantity]
),
OR (
Asset[Program] = "Primary Assets",
Asset[Category] IN { "ASM", "NSN", "TPG", "STB" }
)
)
One potential performance issue with FILTER( SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(...)) is that SUMMARIZECOLUMNS returns the full table (which contains some unwanted rows) which is then iterated over with FILTER.
An alternative, which may perform better, is to construct a table containing the filter condition, and provide that as an argument in SUMMARIZECOLUMNS after the Groupby columns. Something like this:
EVALUATE
VAR FilterTable =
UNION (
CROSSJOIN (
TREATAS ( { "Primary Assets" }, Asset[Program] ),
ALL ( Asset[Category] )
),
CROSSJOIN (
ALL ( Asset[Program] ),
TREATAS ( { "ASM", "NSN", "TPG", "STB" }, Asset[Category] )
)
)
RETURN
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (
Asset[Type],
Asset[Program],
Asset[Category],
Sales[Period],
Sales[Quantity],
FilterTable
)
