DAX Measure for Navigation Filter

Given a sales dashboard with a slicer for Year, which DAX measure correctly calculates total sales filtered by the selected year?

Sales Amount = SUM(Sales[Amount])

Wordpress

Sales Amount Selected Year = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Amount]), ALLSELECTED(Sales[Year]))

A Sales Amount Selected Year = SUM(Sales[Amount])

B Sales Amount Selected Year = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Amount]), ALLSELECTED(Sales[Year]))

C Sales Amount Selected Year = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Amount]), ALL(Sales[Year]))

D Sales Amount Selected Year = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Amount]), FILTER(Sales, Sales[Year] = MAX(Sales[Year])))

💡 Hint

ALLSELECTED keeps slicer filters applied by the user.

Using ALLSELECTED keeps the filter context from the slicer, so the measure respects the selected year.

Debugging Broken Navigation Links

You added navigation links in your WordPress BI dashboard, but clicking them does not change the view. Which of the following is the most likely cause?

A The dashboard uses too many visuals causing slow loading

B The dashboard data model is missing a primary key

C The DAX measures are not using CALCULATE function

D The links have incorrect URLs or page IDs, so they do not point to existing dashboard pages

💡 Hint

Think about what controls navigation links behavior.

If navigation links point to wrong or missing pages, clicking them will not change the view.
