I have a table called fact_ActualsOrders_ES. It is the actual cost to hit a project. It is related to dim_cost_element table via a relationship.

I want to filter the ActualsOrders_ES table based on a field in dim_cost_element called cost_element_text. I only want records in the fact table where cost_element_text DOES NOT BEGIN WITH "Settled".

I tried created a calculated column in fact_ActualsOrders_ES by putting in this formula:

=FILTER(fact_ActualsOrders_ES,LEFT(Related(dim_cost_element[cost_element_text]), 7) <> "Settled")

I got this error:

"The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value."

What am I doing wrong?

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
