Exclude NULL values from VAR Measures

Hi folks,

 

I have a series of visuals that calculate a Net Promoter Score style output. 

 

I was given elsewhere in this forum the below measure, you will note that at the bottom that NULL values are assigned a score of 0. 

 

This is skewing the results, and I am wondering how I exclude NULL values from the calculation?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,


Thanks


Jamie 

 

NPS Score =
//be sure you have a question in your survey asking "How likely would you be to recommend us?" with a scale of 0-10
VAR detractors = CALCULATE(
           COUNTROWS('Repository'),
                     FILTER('Repository',
                     'Repository'[NPS]<=6)
           )

//don't forget to make your NPS question column into a whole number data type
VAR passives = CALCULATE(
           COUNTROWS('Repository'),
                     FILTER('Repository',
                     'Repository'[NPS]=7)
           )
           +CALCULATE(
                     COUNTROWS('Repository'),
                      FILTER('Repository',
                     'Repository'[NPS]=8)
           )

VAR promoters = CALCULATE(
           COUNTROWS('Repository'),
                     FILTER('Repository',
                     'Repository'[NPS]>=9)
           )

VAR total = COUNTROWS('Repository')

VAR score = (promoters/total*100)-(detractors/total*100)

RETURN If(
                     ISBLANK(score),
                     0,
                     score
           )

Hi @jamesclark458 ,

Please try to filter the table that you want to exclude null value, then use this new table to calculate, like below dax formula, please refer:

var tmp= filter(All("Table Name"),[ColumnName]<>"null")
