Remove blanks data

Hi,

 

My question is quite simple I guess:

Revenus by month for 2 products (Product A ans product B) starting from 2015 till 2018. However, there is no data (= Blank) for 2016 and 2017 (not zero 0 BUT blanks).

I'm trying to create a measure that will summarize revenues by product for each year but will show on a chart ONLY the years or month that I have data for while ignoring all the others.

So basically I want to show on a chart only 2015 and 2018 without doing any cherry pick using the visual level filter functionality.

I was trying all kinds of functions in my measure "IF BLANK / ISBLANK / NOT ISBLANK" etc. with no much success. it keeps showing 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 where 2016 and 2017 are showing blank.

 

Thasnk!

    Hi NirH_at_BITeam,

     

    Yes. As we can only drag column field to the Axis bucket of the chart visual, we need to modify table to filter out Axis values which has blank data.

    Hi NirH_at_BITeam

     

    Assume the sample raw data like below: 

     

     

    We can go to Query Editor and remove the blanks for the table: 

     

     

    Or we can create a new table via DAX then use this table data in a chart visual: 

     

    Table = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table1','Table1'[Revenue]<>BLANK()),"Year",'Table1'[Year],"Revenue",'Table1'[Revenue])

      Thanks and you were right my data does look like your table.

      So basically there is no simple DAX to resolve this either to handle it in the source/load system (Power Query), or creating the table... is that correct?
