    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!

Can you try calculate ( [measure], allexcept ( .......the one item you're trying to have work as a filter....)?

 

And if you need to, you could go to the table that your filtering against and add custom columns to allow easier filters
