Customized data display in matrix not shown when data is empty
I have a dashboard that shows sales in the previous 13 months of 3 categories. Each category has a different way to display the sales:
- Furniture: Integer number
- Office supplies: Percentage
- Technology: Decimal
Here is what I have for the DAX formula:
However, if one month has missing data and I select that month in the filter, the format display is reset. For example, in the above picture, August 2012 data is missing. If I put August 2012 in the filter, all the format is automatically switched to percentage as per the picture below:
What can I do to fix this?
My dashboard is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10zT1TsJRhfPBYNb_3DP_oOHxC2OPbikw/view?usp=sharing

Hi hainguyen28,
We appreciate your inquiry on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
Please find attached the screenshot and the code, which may assist in resolving the issue:
Total Sales Last 13 Months =
VAR SelectedMonth = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
VAR SalesAmount =
CALCULATE(
SUM(Orders[Sales]),
DATESINPERIOD(
'Calendar'[Date],
SelectedMonth,
-13,
MONTH
)
)
VAR TotalSales = [Total Sales]
VAR SalesPercentage = DIVIDE(SalesAmount, TotalSales, 0)
VAR ProductCategories = VALUES('Orders'[Product Category])
RETURN
IF(
ISBLANK(SalesAmount),
BLANK(),
CONCATENATEX(
ProductCategories,
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Orders'[Product Category] = "Furniture", FORMAT(SalesAmount, "#,##0"),
'Orders'[Product Category] = "Office Supplies", FORMAT(SalesPercentage, "0.00%"),
'Orders'[Product Category] = "Technology", FORMAT(SalesAmount, "0.00"),
FORMAT(SalesAmount, "0.00")
),
", "
)
)

You can streamline your code a bit. See if that helps
Thanks for sending this over. However, I don't think this really solved my problem. In my original graph, the user can choose the reporting month and data within the previous 12 months would show. This would be the problem if the month I choose has no data. All the formatting would disappear. Do you happen to have any other solutions that still retain my original matrix and slicer functionality?
I don't think that is a good UX. Maybe someone else can assist you further.
