    Hi saivina2920 ,

     

    Please try this.

    EMPSTATUS = 
VAR variables = SELECTEDVALUE('EMP QUERY'[EMP_PLACE])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'EMP QUERY'[EMP_NUMBER] ),
    FILTER(
        ALL('EMP QUERY'),
        'EMP QUERY'[EMP_REMARKS] in { "GOOD", "EXCELLENT"} &&
        'EMP QUERY'[EMP_COUNTRY] = "INDIA" &&
        'EMP QUERY'[EMP_PLACE] = variables
    )
)

    Perfect. One last question.

    How to exclude selected value like not in selected value in the measure.

    VAR variables = SELECTEDVALUE('EMP QUERY'[EMP_PLACE])

     

     if this NOT IN selected value, then my problem is solved.

      You can leverage the NOT operator

       

      NOT('EMP QUERY'[EMP_REMARKS]) IN { variables}

        Thanks. But, not suppose to come for variables. not for column.

        It should come like below. I am not sure whether it is correct or not. but, not in {Variables}

        ('EMP QUERY'[EMP_REMARKS]) NOT IN { variables} ==> Will it work....?
