Using ISBLANK Function

Hello All,

 

I am creating a measure for the purpose of Quarter over Quarter change.

I have a syntax here that does work.

 

Expense QoQ change =
var prevquarter =
CALCULATE([Measure for Fact Expense],
DATEADD(FY_Accounting_Dates[Date],-4,QUARTER))
RETURN DIVIDE([Measure for Fact Expense]-prevquarter,prevquarter)

 

I am trying to add/integrate the ISBLANK to this syntax. The reason is, the Quarters that are in the future, it shows -100% for all those, since there is no value yet. Any help how I add add ISBLANK to this code to aviod this problem on the visual. Thanks!

Hello @pfarahani ,
Try this one
Expense QoQ change =
var prevquarter =
CALCULATE([Measure for Fact Expense],
DATEADD(FY_Accounting_Dates[Date],-4,QUARTER))
var previousQuarter = DIVIDE([Measure for Fact Expense]-prevquarter,prevquarter)
RETURN 
IF ( ISBLANK ( PreviousQuarter ), 0, previousQuarter)
