    This is not really an issue. It is clearly explained in this article from Alberto. It is happening because of Auto Exist feature in DAX.

    Besides, creating a seperate dimension table is not really a workaround, but rather a best practice. A Star Schema is always considered best when working with Power BI Datamodel. This is what makes it more powerful!

Hey guys!

It's dead simple, really. Use the ALL function to remove a filter on a specific column like this:

Measure = calculate(Expression,ALL(column-you-want-to-remove-filter))

That's it. ALL, used inside a CALCULATE expression, works like REMOVEFILTER.

Wow, thank you!

 

I really needed this simplicity for something I am working on right now. I really was searching all over the place in very much too complex challenges and solutions. It really was as simple as the DAS you wrote down.
