Using NOT and IN function

Hi, I want to filter values which is not in the list provided.

Here is my measure but it filters the valua that I want to exclude.

Sum Incorrect Technical Professional SG = 

CALCULATE( COUNTROWS('zhpla'),

FILTER(

'zhpla',

'zhpla'[Position Category] = "Technical Professional (TP)" &&

'zhpla'[Employee Assignment Category]

IN {"Permanent ~ Executive","Permanent ~ Management" } &&

NOT ('zhpla'[Employee Assignment Category] IN {"P1", "P2", "P3", "P4", "P5", "P6", "P7", "P8", "P9", "P10", "P11", "P12", "P13", "P14" })

)

)+0

can you help me?

In my test the result is what I would expect.  You can simplify the measure some, first the NOT IN does not need to be there because this line already limits it to just 2 categories.  The {P1..P14} are already excluded.

'zhpla'[Employee Assignment Category] IN { "Permanent ~ Executive", "Permanent ~ Management" }

You can also just count the filter so it ends up like this.

Sum Incorrect Technical Professional SG = 
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER (
        'zhpla',
        'zhpla'[Position Category] = "Technical Professional (TP)" &&
		'zhpla'[Employee Assignment Category] IN { "Permanent ~ Executive", "Permanent ~ Management" }
    )
) + 0

Now, if you are saying that the lines still show up in a table with this measure in it, that is because of the +0 forcing the measure to return a result.  So if you want to get rid of that behaviour, remove the +0

Hi @zahidah_mabd,
Please note of the position of "(".  I have placed it before NOT.

Sum Incorrect Technical Professional SG =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( 'zhpla' ),
    FILTER (
        'zhpla',
        'zhpla'[Position Category] = "Technical Professional (TP)"
            && 'zhpla'[Employee Assignment Category]
            IN { "Permanent ~ Executive", "Permanent ~ Management" }
            && ( NOT 'zhpla'[Employee Assignment Category]
            IN {
            "P1",
            "P2",
            "P3",
            "P4",
            "P5",
            "P6",
            "P7",
            "P8",
            "P9",
            "P10",
            "P11",
            "P12",
            "P13",
            "P14"
        } )
    )
) + 0
