Keepfilters

[Anonymous]

hello every body, 

    im new in power bi and dax , 

avg = AVERAGEX(

KEEPFILTERS(VALUES(table[column1])),

CALCULATE(MIN(table[column2]),NOT(ISBLANK(table[column3])))

)

can you explain to me this measure, with a focus on keepfilters and values , is keep filters in that case like group by and what is the role of the values inside the keepfilters.

thanks you

Hi @Anonymous ,

‘VALUES ( 'Table'[Column1] )’ returns a one-column table that contains the distinct values from Column1.

‘CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Column2] ), NOT ( ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Column3] ) ) )’ returns each group’s minimum value, for example, A, B and C.

In your measure, ‘KEEPFILTERS’ and ‘VALUES’ play the same role. ‘KEEPFILTERS’ is not needed in this measure.

avg =
AVERAGEX (
    KEEPFILTERS ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Column1] ) ),
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Column2] ), NOT ( ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Column3] ) ) )
)

avg 2 = 
AVERAGEX (
    VALUES ( 'Table'[Column1] ),
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Column2] ), NOT ( ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Column3] ) ) )
)

Best Regards,
