Include Zero on a Table
I'm making a table visual with two columns, Name and Count. This works perfectly well at counting data, but I also want to include "Names" for which there is no data (thus the Count would be 0). How can I do this?
Oh right, so you're using the 'Count' aggregation from the dropdown on the field.
I think you'll need to define your own measure instead to stop the blank row removal.
e.g.
Count Measure = COUNT( Table[Column] ) + 0

The simplest way I know of is to add +0 to the end of your measure.
This will convert blanks to zero and leave nonblanks unchanged.

I'm not using a measure, though. It's a table where "Name" is a text value and "Count" is a count of the data.

I will assume that the data table in which you are working - if a name has no data/record then it does not appear in this table. Let's call this Table1
So you need a data table that has all names - possible you need to create that, which is a straight forward task using the New Table feature. In any case call that Name Table.
Have a join line between these 2 data tables
Then in your Visual table use Name table, and a Measure =Count(Related(Table1))
Just air code but that's the idea I think will work.

What if we have this as a column and not a calculated measure as mentioned above?
