Force Zero for dates using measure

Hello,
I have a data sheet that has a list of dates and I need to count how many times those dates show up. Problem is there are some dates that do not show up at all and result in a blank. I need them to show 0 on my visual and I believe the method is to force them to be 0 instead of blank. Is there a measure to force zero for dates?

      Hello mwegener,

      Here's a picture of the visual.

       

       

      As you can see there's some months not showing anything at all and I'd like to have them display 0 instead, main reason is relative date filtering doesn't appear like it works properly if there's any null or blank dates.

        Hi whysotan ,

         

        what is your measure?

         

        Maybe this helps:

         

        CountRows =
        VAR _CountRows = COUNTROWS('Table')
        RETURN
        IF(ISBLANK(_CountRows);0;_CountRows)

    whysotan ,

     

    Try creating a calculate table using dax below:

    Column = Table[Data] + 0
