Using all to return a table

[julien-rivley]

Hello,

I have a Fact table like this:

Product

Customer

Region

Date

Sales

In the middle of a calculation, I would like to put that table in a variable with the following filter:

Based on context	Based on context	Based on context	Any date	Based on context
Product	Customer	Region	Date	Sales

ALL seems to be the right function but I only manage to use it in a calculation with formula like this:
CALCULATE(
SUM(Fact[Sales] ,
All(Fact[Date]))

How could I use it to return the table above?

Thanks for your help!

I'm a bit worried about why you might want to do this as it could lead to performance issues and there might be alternative faster approaches. But to answer your question you could use the CALCULATETABLE function to create a table variable with an altered filter context.

eg.

VAR _factAllDates = CALCULATETABLE( Fact, ALL( Fact[Date] ) )

Thanks a lot!

Yes, I have some tricky calculation to do and I could not find anyother solution than this... Ultimately, the goal is to design something similar to this:

That's fine and the CALCULATETABLE approach should work, but you might find your performance is better doing some sort of ALL() over your date dimension rather than a CALCULATETABLE over your fact.
