Keepfilters

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,

    Icey
