ISFILTERED DAX Function (Information)
Returns true when there are direct filters on the specified column.
Syntax
| Parameter | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TableNameOrColumnName |
The table or column to check the filter info. |
Return values
TRUE when ColumnName is being filtered directly, or when any column of TableName is being filtered directly.
Remarks
A column is said to be filtered directly when the filter or filters apply over the column.
A column or table is said to be cross-filtered when a filter is applied to any column of the same table or in a related table.
ISFILTERED can check whether a column is being filtered directly or if any of the columns of the table is being filtered directly.
ISFILTERED supports a table argument since SSAS 2019 or Power BI April 2019. Former versions only support the column name argument.

-- ISFILTERED checks whether a column has a direct filter
-- ISCROSSFILTERED checks whether a column has either a direct
-- or an indirect filter (which is a filter propagated from a related column)
--
-- In this example we place the filter on the 1 side of a 1:* relationship
