Parameters used in Syntax of REMOVEFILTERS.

  • REMOVEFILTERS can only be used to clear filters but not to return a table.

  • This function is not supported for use in DirectQuery mode when used in calculated columns or row-level security (RLS) rules

Differences between ALL() and REMOVEFILTERS()

REMOVEFILTERS is just an alias of ALL here, so it works in the same manner.

Basically, using only ALL() returns a table including all rows, ignoring any filters that might have been applied.

However, when ALL is used as a filter argument of CALCULATE / CALCULATETABLE, it behaves differently: it removes filters from the table and does not return a table.

To eliminate this confusing behavior of ALL, REMOVEFILTERS was introduced to replace ALL when it is used inside CALCULATE.

Lets take an example of the below code . ALL Sales = CALCULATE( SUM(financials[ Sales]), All(financials[Country]) ) Here All is an context modifier.

Usage of REMOVEFILTERS :Its an Alias for ALL when its used inside a CALCULATE modifier. Advantage: RemoveFilters is faster than ALL and hence more efficient. Disadvantages: Also Remove Filters cannot be used in DQ mode
