DAX calculate StDev including Blanks

Hi all,

 

I am trying to calculate the standard deviaton of the amount of sales for each product within a certain product category, in order to eventually calculate a Z-score for each customer. However, some customer do not have sales for a specific product (i.e. amount of sales is blank). See example below

 

Filter: Product Category = Y

Customer  Product   Amount of Sales  Average
1A32,4
2A 2,4
3A22,4
4A 2,4
5A72,4
1B 1,4
2B41,4
3B 1,4
4B21,4
5B11,4

 

When I create substitute the amount of sales measure with the following measure:
Amount of sales incl 0 = IF(ISBLANK(_Measures[Amount of Sales]), 0, _Measures[Amount of Sales])

 

The result ignores the product category filter and returns 0's for all customers in the customer dimension. See example below for product A

 

CustomerProductAmount of sales incl 0 
1A3
2A0
3A2
4A0
5A7
6A0
7A0
8A0
9A0
10A0
11A0
12A0

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to formulate my StDev or Amount of Sales formula

 

Suggestions are more than welcome!

 

Thank you

 

Hendrik

Hi,  @hendrikhendriks 

How will the field ‘Product Category’ be displayed in the table?

Please try the formula as below:

 

Amount of sales incl 0 = Measures[Amount of Sales]+0

 

If it does‘t work, please share you sample file for further research.
