Multiple Filters AND and OR

I am very new to PowerBI and have been tasked with recreating all of our reports from QlikSense.    I was able to get a defect rate and now need to add multiple AND and OR filters. I am struggling....

    The error you are getting seems related to trying to compare a Text value with a Numeric value. My guess would be that you need to remove the double quotes around your numeric value of 30.

    In your formula, the issue is on the logic of your applied filter, your logic like: [Column]<>"A" ||  [Column]<>"B" will return you all values in [Column], which means this filter doesn't work at all.

     

    Based on your description, you should apply AND logic between those "not equal" conditions:

     

    UnfilterDefectRate =
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.InvoiceQty] ),
        FILTER (
            vSalesMaster,
            vSalesMaster[OrderType] = "W"
                && vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.DefectReason] <> "AB Damage"
                && vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.DefectReason] <> "Concealed Damage"
                && vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.DefectReason] <> "Claim Filed"
                && vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.DefectReason] <> "Freight Damage"
                && vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.DefectReason] <> "Goodwill"
        )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( [InvoiceQty] ),
        FILTER ( VSalesMaster, vSalesMaster[OrderType] = "R" )
    )
)

I have added in the filters and I am getting an error message:A function 'FILTER' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed. Can you help me? 

 

UnfilterDefectRate = DIVIDE(
CALCULATE(
SUM ( vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.InvoiceQty] ),
FILTER (vSalesMaster,vSalesMaster[OrderType] = "W" &&
        vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.DefectReason] <> "AB Damage" ) ||
        (vSalesMaster[OrderType] = "W" &&
        vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.DefectReason] <> "Concealed Damage" ) ||
        (vSalesMaster[OrderType] = "W" &&
        vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.DefectReason] <> "Claim Filed" ) ||
        (vSalesMaster[OrderType] = "W" &&
        vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.DefectReason] <> "Freight Damage" ) ||
        (vSalesMaster[OrderType] = "W" &&
        vSalesMaster[WarrDetail.DefectReason] <> "Goodwill" )
),
CALCULATE(
SUM ( [InvoiceQty] ),
FILTER (VSalesMaster,vSalesMaster[OrderType] = "R")
)
)
