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

Syntax

NONFILTER ( <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 NONFILTER within the context GROUPCROSSAPPLY and GROUPCROSSAPPLYTABLE functions, to override the standard behavior of those functions.

A NONFILTER makes the table expression permanently hidden from the filter context even if its columns may have lineage. Those columns with lineage act as if they are extension columns.
