I have a page with a filter on it where Datetable[Actual]="Yes". this limits the data to todays date
However I want ot count how many days are in the month chosen in totla so I wrote this expecting it to ignore the page filter and count 31 days in July. However it doenst work and still producing 27 as its the 27th today. I have no idea why this doesn't work as counldnt be any simpler?
Total Days in Period = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(DateTable),ALL(DateTable[Actual]))
Any clues as seems ot be text book way to do this? Sadly modle is enormous so cant post it. If I click off the page filter it calcuates 31 so sure notihng lese is filtering as well
Thanks
Mike
Hello @theferret ,
Is the page filter that you are applying constitues of [Actual] Column? If that's a yes, so it should work.
If no, you will have to bring in the column name being used in your filter for this visual.
It is a column in the Datetable titled [Actual] and 100% sure my page filter is using the same field
I have tried to replicate your issue and it works fine for me.
See below:
[Actual] is a calculated column similar to what you described:
Actual =
if('DateTable'[Date] <= TODAY(),"Yes","No")
Let me know if I am missing from this sample.
Yup I have no idea why it doenst work as seems obvious? i've moved the page filter otthe visuals as only solution. Bit wierd, but thnaks for looking at this
