In Power BI, filters play a crucial role in shaping data insights. But when working with DAX expressions, choosing between ALL and REMOVEFILTERS can significantly impact your results. Let's break it down:

๐Ÿ” ALL

  • Removes filters from specified columns or tables.

  • Ignores the visual-level filters while retaining relationships between tables.

  • Best for scenarios where you need to calculate totals or comparisons irrespective of filters.
    Example: CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Amount]), ALL(Sales[Region]))

๐Ÿ›  REMOVEFILTERS

  • Clears filters on a specified column or table but only for that calculation.

  • Unlike ALL, it respects the relationships and context in your model.

  • Perfect for temporarily overriding filters without disrupting the larger model.
    Example: CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Amount]), REMOVEFILTERS(Sales[Region]))

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip: Use ALL when working with totals across relationships, and opt for REMOVEFILTERS for context-sensitive overrides.

Mastering these functions can elevate your data storytelling and reporting skills!
