Problem using measure as argumentes in FILTER function

I am new here, I would like help solving a problem! I'm trying to filter a table passing to a measure's FILTER function, but it does not return values, when I substitute the same measure for "text" ...

Thanks for your help!

I'm new to the DAX language, could you kindly send me an example of using the FILTER function with measure as an argument?

I am wanting to filter the row of a table to bring an argument to the media and filter another table with this measure.

can you show the code of your measure?

Yes for sure. I always select only one row of the table. Measure = VAR __DISTINCT_VALUES_COUNT = DISTINCTCOUNT(‘Table1’[Colun1]) VAR __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW = 1 RETURN IF( __DISTINCT_VALUES_COUNT > __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW; CONCATENATE( CONCATENATEX( TOPN( __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW; VALUES(‘Table1’[Colun1]); ’Table1’[Colun1]; ASC ); ’Table1’[Colun1]; ", "; ’Table1’[Colun1]; ASC ); ", etc." ); CONCATENATEX( VALUES(‘Table1’[Colun1]); ’Table1’[Colun1]; ", "; ’Table1’[Colun1]; ASC ) )

  Ok, that's a complex measure. Can you share the pbix? It'd be easier to help like that.
  Otherwise you could try using the code of the measure directly in the filter argument instead of calling the measure. In that way you could partially check if it is a problem with the context transition derived from the implicit CALCULATE.

    What table are you doing the FILTER( ) operation on? The Table1 you are referring to in the measure??
