  • Q1
    What is the main purpose of the ALL function in DAX?
    Can only be used directly in a measure to return a table.
    Permanently removes all filters from a table or column.
    Requires another function like CALCULATE to be used effectively.
    Ignores any applied filters and returns all rows in a table or all values in a column.

  • Q2
    What is the key difference between ALL and REMOVEFILTERS functions?
    REMOVEFILTERS can be used to create new calculated columns, while ALL cannot.
    ALL can be used within calculations, while REMOVEFILTERS only removes filters and doesn't return a value.
    ALL works with live connections, while REMOVEFILTERS does not.
    ALL is used for filtering rows, while REMOVEFILTERS is used for filtering columns.

  • Q3
    When might the ALL function NOT remove filters as expected?
    Due to automatic context transition within the DAX expression.
    ALL function only works with specific filter types.
    There is a bug in the current version of Power BI.
    ALL function has a separate setting for automatic context transition.

  • Q4
    Which is NOT a valid scenario for using REMOVEFILTERS?
    Returning a filtered table as the output of a measure.
    Clearing filters from a specific table or column only.
    Using REMOVEFILTERS within another DAX function like CALCULATE.
    Adding another slicer or filter context within a measure.

  • Q5
    How can you remove filter context from the denominator of a percentage calculation?
    Use the ALL function on the table containing the denominator value.
    It is not possible to remove filter context from the denominator in percentages.
    Use REMOVEFILTERS function on the numerator table.
    Change the calculation method to average instead of sum.

  • Q6
    What are some limitations of REMOVEFILTERS functions?
    It cannot be used in calculated columns or row-level security (RLS).
    It cannot be used within other DAX functions (can be used with CALCULATE).
    It requires a specific table to be referenced, not a column.
    It can only be used with numeric data types.

  • Q7
    What does "context transition" in DAX refer to?
    The order in which functions are evaluated within a DAX expression.
    A method for connecting to external data sources in Power BI.
    A separate calculation context created for each measure.
    How filters applied in one part of an expression can influence other parts.

  • Q8
    In the video, why did REMOVEFILTERS not work in the color sales percentage calculation?
    The color slicer was already affecting the calculation, making REMOVEFILTERS unnecessary.
    REMOVEFILTERS cannot be used directly in calculations like ALL, it requires another function like CALCULATE.
    There is a bug in the specific DAX expression used.
    REMOVEFILTERS only works with measures that return numeric values.

  • Q9
    What resource was recommended by the instructor for further learning?
    Contacting Microsoft support.
    Power BI DAX function documentation.
    Searching for other videos on the BI Consulting Pro channel.

  • Q10
    Based on the video, what are two key points to remember about ALL and REMOVEFILTERS?
    1. ALL is often used within another function like CALCULATE. 2. Be aware of context transition when using ALL.
    1. Use ALL for permanent filter removal, REMOVEFILTERS for temporary. 2. They cannot be used in calculated columns.
    1. REMOVEFILTERS clears filters but doesn't return a value. 2. ALL can be overridden by context transition.
    1. REMOVEFILTERS requires referencing a specific table. 2. ALL cannot be used directly in measures.
