Blank as Zero but only between first and last date which have a value greater 0

[Anonymous]

Hello together,

i am looking for a way to show blanks as zero, but only between the first and last date which have Values > 0. 

Usually i do it with +0 but then i have the problem, that every value in calendar gets a 0. 

i need something like a for loop:

for all dates which are > calculate(min(date), value > 0) && < calculate(max(date), value > 0),
value + 0,

value 

Thanks for help!

@Anonymous , Try like

0 between range
Measure = var _1= SUM(Opportunity[Opportunity count]) +0
var _min = minx(ALLSELECTED('Calendar'), 'Calendar'[Date])
var _max = maxx(ALLSELECTED('Calendar'), 'Calendar'[Date])
return
CALCULATE(if(max('Calendar'[Date]) <_min || max('Calendar'[Date]) >_max , BLANK(), _1))

Hi, @Anonymous 

Please check the following methods.

Example data:

     

Table:

Date = CALENDAR(DATE(2022,1,1),DATE(2022,1,31))

Measure:

Measure = 
VAR N1 =
    SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ) + 0
VAR Mindate =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Date] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] ) )
VAR Maxdate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] ) )
RETURN
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] ) >= Mindate
            && SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] ) <= Maxdate,
        N1,
        BLANK ()
    )

Is this the result you expect?

Thanks for answering! 

I think its the right way to go, but i have one problem left. In your example there ist no dimension table (except date table) to filter the fact table. But i have another column in my fact table which i have to filter with another dimension table. What now happens is that only the dates from the fact table get a zero as blank (which is good for the moment) but the measure does not recognize the min and max date for a specific dimension filter. This means that the minimum date value in fact table always gets a zero even if the minimum date for a specific dimension filter is much later.

Do you know a solution for this problem?

many many thanks!

Data model: 

Result without a filter selection "Belegnummer" (as expected and correct):

Result with a filter selection "Belegnummer": 

It starts at 31.12.2019 because thats the first date in table "Tätigkeiten". But with one filter selection in "Belegnummer" it should start at the first date, where a value is greater 0 for the specific "Belegnummer". 

Hope it is understandable.

Thanks again

Nico
