ALLSELECTEDAPPLY DAX Function (Filter)

Syntax  |  Return values  |  Remarks  |  Examples  |  Related  

Modifies how filters are applied while evaluating a GROUPCROSSAPPLY or GROUPCROSSAPPLYTABLE function.

Syntax

ALLSELECTEDAPPLY ( <TableExpression> )

Parameter	Attributes	Description
TableExpression		Any table expression.

Return values

Table An entire table or a table with one or more columns.

Remarks

This function is mainly used internally by Power BI to query remote models in composite models.

You use ALLSELECTEDAPPLY within the context GROUPCROSSAPPLY and GROUPCROSSAPPLYTABLE functions, to override the standard behavior of those functions.

When a filter is specified as ALLSELECTEDAPPLY, it is initially hidden in the filter context. Upon an ALLSELECTED inside CALCULATE or CALCULATETABLE, this table expression is enabled in filter context.

Examples

-- Illustrative syntax only (internal Power BI / composite model pattern).
-- ALLSELECTEDAPPLY hides the filter until ALLSELECTED runs inside CALCULATE.
-- Not evaluated on dax.do: GROUPCROSSAPPLY targets remote/composite query shapes.
