DAX for IF formula

Need help with simple DAX formula. DAX will go in Column B. If The adjacent cell in Column A is not blank, then place a 1 in the adjacent cell in Column B. Thanks for any help!

HI @Anonymous 

 

 

Column_B= 
IF(Table[COLUMN_A] = BLANK(), BLANK(), 1)

OR 

Column_B= 
IF(LEN(Table[COLUMN_A])=0, BLANK(), 1)

OR

Column_B= 
IF(ISBLANK(Table[COLUMN_A]), BLANK(), 1)

Try this DAX in the calculated column

ColumnB = IF(NOT(ISBLANK('Table'[ColumnA])),1)

assuming you are creating a new column and the name of the column you are pointing is  "SourceColumn"

=If(ISBLANK([SourceColumn]), 0,1)

Hope this Helps

That doesn't sound like DAX at all. Do you maybe mean Power Query? What have you tried so far?

Unfortunately I don't have permissions to do the edit in Power Query. Just trying to find a way to make the change in the data table. I just need to have a column populate 1 for every adjacent cell that is not blank. I need the "1's" to use as a count field since my table visual is not populating/counting all the data as it should.

is that computation something you only need to do once (calculated column) or can the result be impacted by filter choices (measure) ?  I guess the former?

Yeah it's just needed once.
