    In reference to your original post, you wanted to use FIRSTNONBLANK right? If there will only be one value in a column at any time, then you can probably just use the DAX measure:

     

    Title = FIRSTNONBLANK('Table1'[Column_1],'Table1'[Column_1]).

     

    I used that with sample data where there was only one column with one value in a cell out of 15 cells. I was able to get the value in that cell into a card visual. Let me know if that's what you wanted, thanks.

1)  define a DAX text measure

sornavoor wonga I want to reference a precise cell. Example: 'table'[column][row]
If there is an easy way to do this is DAX, please let me know.


Using ALLNOBLANKROW when my column only has 1 non-blank cell, I'd expect the nonblank cell to be the value represented in the card.

I've tried "Measure = ALLNOBLANKROW('table'[column])" but this does not yield proper results. It throws an error: 

Error Message:

MdxScript(Model) (1, 43) Calculation error in measure 'electricCommander'[Title]: A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected.
