Hi, @Anonymous 

According to my research, the main reason for this problem is that you are using data from different tables and you are filtering the metric values with fields from different tables.
Below I will demonstrate to reproduce your question:

I have the following three tables:

Their relationship is as follows:

vjianpengmsft_1-1727053665122.png

Use the fields of these three tables to build a visual, and then exclude one of them:

vjianpengmsft_3-1727053760546.png

vjianpengmsft_4-1727053776099.png

 

As a workaround for this error, you can use Power BI Desktop's filter to uncheck the fields you want to exclude in the filter for the current visual, which can also show the results after you want to exclude data. Alternatively, you can use advanced filtering to exclude fields that have an IS NOT:
