May only

 

  • CALCULATE([TotalSalary],FILTER(ALL(FactSalary[Month]), FactSalary[Month]="May"))      filters to MAY of selected year
  • CALCULATE([TotalSalary],FILTER(ALL(FactSalary),              FactSalary[Month]="May"))      filters to all MAYs,  regardless of selected year

Hello arifulice

I'm not an expert on DAX but I found a good explanation here:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Filter-and-Allexcept/td-p/76403

 

the way I understand:

 

CALCULATE([TotalSalary],FILTER(ALL(FactSalary[Month]), FactSalary[Month]="May"))

the filter iterates only the values of the [Month] column (you will see May only).  It is the same as:

CALCULATE([TotalSalary],FactSalary[Month]="May"))

 

in order to remove all the filters from other columns, you change to:

CALCULATE([TotalSalary],FILTER(ALL(FactSalary), FactSalary[Month]="May"))

where the only difference is that the filter iterates the entire FactSalary table and not only the values of the Month column  (you see all months)
