6 years agovalue = BLANK() versus ISBLANK(value)
This is a followup from https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/seaching-for-keywords-in-text-for-use-as-index-seach-function/m-p/1152135
Why does this work?
but this doesnt?
Mystery solved. CONCATENATEX never returns blank. At the minimum it returns an empty string. So there seems to be a bug in DAX that allows the comparison of an empty string to BLANK() to be true.
