    Hi Helly,

     

    What's the data source? Can you add one row of 0s in the data source? Please try the solution below and the demo in the attachment.

    Add one row of 0s in the Query Editor.

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i44FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, Value = _t]),
    result = Table.InsertRows(Source, 0, {[Name = "0", Value = "0"]}) // Add this line by hand.
in
    result

    Replace_empty_table_with_0

     

    Best Regards,

    Dale
