Count Blanks Table

Hi, 

 

I have a dataset with a table containing all stores and another table with sales. Not all stores have sales. How do I count the number of stores with no sales? I have looked into the COUNTBLANK, but I don't think it can help me, given my data structure.

 

My dataset is like this

 

Table A

|Store|

Store A

Store B

Store C

Store D

Store E

 

 

Table B

|SalesID|Store|Quantity|

01 Store C 10

02 Store D 5

03 Store A 20

 

How do I count the number of stores with zero sales? In the example above, the answer should be 2 (Store B and E).

 

Any help will be highly appreciated.

  • If you have a measure that calculates sales.

    Sales = SUM ( 'Table B'[qty] )

    You can use that in a COUNTROWS measure over your stores

    No Sales = 
    CALCULATE(
        COUNTROWS( 'Table A' ),
        FILTER(
            'Table A',
            [Sales] = 0
        )
    )

      jdbuchanan71's solution works perfect as long as you are able to relate the two tables. If you cannnot relate the tables in the data model you can try this:

      Stores with No Sales = 
      VAR TotalStores = DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table A'[Store] )
      VAR StoresWithSales =
          CALCULATE(
              DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table A'[Store] ),
              TREATAS( 
                  SUMMARIZE( 'Table B', 'Table B'[Store] ),
                  'Table A'[Store]
              )
          )
      RETURN
          TotalStores - StoresWithSales

        Hi,

         

        I have a connection between the tables, so jdbuchanan71 helped me.

         

        Thank you so much for taking time to show an alternative solution.
