ALL DAX Function (Filter)

Returns all the rows in a table, or all the values in a column, ignoring any filters that might have been applied.

Syntax

ALL ( [<TableNameOrColumnName>] [, <ColumnName> [, <ColumnName> [, … ] ] ] )
Parameter Attributes Description
TableNameOrColumnName Optional

The name of an existing table or column.

ColumnName Optional
Repeatable

A column in the same base table. The column can be specified in optional parameters only when a column is used in the first argument, too.

Return values

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

Remarks

This function removes the corresponding filters from the filter context, just as REMOVEFILTERS does. It does not materialize the resulting table when called directly in a filter argument of CALCULATE or CALCULATETABLE.

ALL can be used as a table expression when it has at least one argument.
ALL without arguments can be used only as a CALCULATE or CALCULATETABLE modifier and removes all the filters from the filter context.

The following remarks are valid using ALL as a table expression:

  • Using a table argument, ALL returns all the rows of the table including any duplicated rows.
  • Using a single column argument, ALL returns all the unique values of the column.
  • Using two or more columns arguments, ALL returns all the unique combinations of values in multiple columns.
  • In every case, ALL includes in the result the additional blank row generated for invalid relationships.
