ISFILTERED not working with manual selection

[Julia2023]

Hi, does anyone know how to fix the issue with the ISFILTERED function? I’ve created a measure to display a message if a data source (total two values) filter is applied and only one value is selected. However, the issue arises when I manually select both possible values from the filter; then I get the message that ‘value is not available.’ If I click on the ‘Select All’ option, it works fine and returns the value. How can I fix this filter?  Thanks

Budget =

VAR isSalesblank =

    IF(

        ISFILTERED(Country[Country]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Data Source'[Data Source]) ||

        ISFILTERED('NumberISO'[NumberKey]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Customer'[Customer]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Name' [Name]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Customers Clasification'[Classification]),

        BLANK(),

        [Budget] -- if none of the filters are applied

    )

VAR isnotSalesblank =

    IF(

        ISFILTERED(Country[Country]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Data Source'[Data Source]) ||

        ISFILTERED('NumberISO'[NumberKey]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Customer'[Customer]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Name' [Name]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Customers Clasification'[Classification]),

        "Value is not available at this level",

        [Budget for CY]

    )

RETURN

    IF(

        ISBLANK([POS $]),

        isSalesblank,

        isnotSalesblank

    )

Hi @Julia2023 

Assuming it is the Data source field that is causing problems I would replace both of them.

Budget =

VAR isSalesblank =

    IF(

        ISFILTERED(Country[Country]) ||

        Count('Data Source'[Data Source]) <> CountRows(All('Data Source')) ||

        ISFILTERED('NumberISO'[NumberKey]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Customer'[Customer]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Name' [Name]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Customers Clasification'[Classification]),

        BLANK(),

        [Budget] -- if none of the filters are applied

    )

VAR isnotSalesblank =

    IF(

        ISFILTERED(Country[Country]) ||

        Count('Data Source'[Data Source]) <> CountRows(All('Data Source')) ||

        ISFILTERED('NumberISO'[NumberKey]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Customer'[Customer]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Name' [Name]) ||

        ISFILTERED('Customers Clasification'[Classification]),

        "Value is not available at this level",

        [Budget for CY]

    )

RETURN

    IF(

        ISBLANK([POS $]),

        isSalesblank,

        isnotSalesblank

    )

Hi @Julia2023 ,

I’d like to acknowledge the valuable input provided by the @SamWiseOwl . Their initial ideas were instrumental in guiding my approach. However, I noticed that further details were needed to fully understand the issue. 

According to the design of Power BI, when you select "select all", all data is displayed, the same logic as when there is no filter.

  

When you select values ​​individually, the filter uses the logic of OR to filter the values.

Because of this, it causes unexpected results. You can distinguish the selected results by counting as @SamWiseOwl  said.

Measure = 
COUNT('Data Source'[Data Source])

Measure 2 = 
CALCULATE(COUNT('Data Source'[Data Source]),ALL('Data Source'))

If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Best Regards,

Thank you, @SamWiseOwl . Where do you think this condition should be placed in my measure? Thanks.

Hi @Julia2023 ,

I have had this before when doing silly things with internal and external filters.

In the end what I did was:

Count(Country[Country]) <> CountRows(All(Country))

If the total rows in the Country column did NOT equal the unfiltered count then there must be a filter.

The weird thing about slicers is everything ticked IS applying a filter and so technically isn't the same as nothing ticked.

Let me know if it doesn't work!

If this helps please tick as a solution for others to find 🙂
