Multiplying Values IF Value Exists in One Column

instdes — Tue, 15 Mar 2022 01:29:42 GMT

I currently have a measure that multiplies two column numbers together:

Formula = CALCULATE(SUM('Employee'[Effort]) * SUM('Employee'[Completion]))

however sometimes the "Completion" column does not have a value so instead of ignoring the null value, it will multiple by 0 and not give me a measure. Any help would be great appreciated for my IF formula that does not seem to be working correctly:

FormulaNull = CALCULATE(SUM('Employee'[Effort]) * IF(SUM('Employee'[Completion]), BLANK(), (SUM('Employee'[Completion]))

Hi instdes

Did you try using ISBLANK along with IF? If it's blank, return 1. If not, then return actual value.

Thanks

Hi instdes

You can try this measure.

FormulaNull = IF ( ISBLANK ( SUM ( 'Employee'[Completion] ) ), BLANK (), SUM ( 'Employee'[Effort] ) * SUM ( 'Employee'[Completion] ) )

Thank you for your response. Yes, I ended up using this formula:

FormulaNull = CALCULATE(SUM('Employee'[Effort]) * IF(SUM('Employee'[Completion]) = BLANK(), 1, SUM('Employee'[Completion])))
