Blank row due to missing relationship

Hello everyone,

 

I have a PBI model that loads data from 4 different sources. I created a Star Schema relationship mapping (see image below) using a bridge table.

 

 

But when I created the below table, it shows a line item blank with values. It is because some tables don't contain those values. I don't want to hide blank line because it will show the wrong total and also don't want to appear as blank. I would want it to be renamed as "Unknown" but since these values are blank because of missing relationship, I can't simply replace and change name.

 

Any suggestions on how can I resolve the issue? I tried merging tables to have all IDs in all my tables but that didn't work.

    Hey thanks everyone. I just basically merged my 2 tables to have all IDs in the relevant table and renamed missing values ones to "Unknown". It was relatively simple 😄

    Hi jayjani ,

     

    Can you provide detail on what measure you are moving on the chart for which it is showing BLANK?

     

    If this helps and resolves the issue, appreciate a Kudos and mark it as a Solution! 🙂

     

    Thanks,

    jayjani  I don't think there is anything you can do about it until you will your dimension table with the value, in this, you cannot show the different labels for blank value. Check if there is an idea on ideas forum for change or add a new one.

     

    I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
