I'm still pretty new to PBI. I have Free PBI Desktop v2.100.1182 (64 bit free version Dec 2021) on Windows 10.
I'm created a measure which does what I need it to do. It produces a value of 1 or blank for each row in a matrix. So now I want to add the measure to a page filter, and show only matrix rows where this measure, ShowJobFlag2 is 1. But I have tried several ways to drag this measure to a filter with no luck.
I selected the visual, clicked once on the measure then dragged it to the page level filters and it didn't go in there, and there was no error message. I also clicked the 3 dot menu on the measure to add it to the page level filters and that didn't work.
I deselected all visuals (by clicking once on the page), clicked once on the measure, then dragged it to the page level filters and it didn't go there. I also clicked the 3 dot menu on the measure to add it to the page level filters and that didn't work.
Could this be a bug? Will newer versions of PBI fix this bug? Or are we not allowed to add a measure to a filter?
FYI here's the measure. Note that it uses aggregate functions. I wonder if that's an issue.
ShowJobFlag2 = If (not(isblank(SUM(Jobcost[EstHours])))
&& not(isblank(SUM(Jobcost[ActHours])))
&& not(isblank(SUM(Jobcost[EstCost])))
&& not(isblank(SUM(Jobcost[ActCost])))
,1)
Thank you!

@croberts21 , a measure can only be added to the visual level filter.
Else you have to create buckets
