ALL([<table> | <column>[, <column>[, <column>[,…]]]])

might have been applied.

> Logical functions

IF(<logical_test>, <value_if_true>[, <value_if_false>])

Checks a condition, and returns a certain value depending on whether it is true or false
> DAX statements
AND(<logical 1>, <logical 2>)
VAR(<name> = <expression>)

Otherwise, it returns FALSE after the variable is defined.

OR(<logical 1>, <logical 2>)

both arguments are FALSE

NOT(<logical>)
