Hi, I'm starting on Power BI, could you help me with the following question.
I have a sales table, each sale that the seller makes is consolidated in that table.
I would like to create a table with the region and product filters, but when I filter continue showing all salespeople, and those who did not sell in that filter that is blank but remains in the table.
When I make the filters it filters the salespeople and lets only those who made the sales appear.
The image below shows the result I have and the expected.
Thanks in advance for your help.
| TABLE SALES | |||
| NAME | REGION | PRODUCT | NUMBER SALES |
| ANDY | R1 | P1 | 2 |
| JONNY | R2 | P2 | 3 |
| RICK | R2 | P1 | 2 |
| ANDY | R3 | P1 | 1 |
| ANDY | R1 | P2 | 4 |
| RICK | R1 | P2 | 2 |
| MICK | R2 | P3 | 1 |
| MICK | R2 | P3 | 5 |
| MICK | R2 | P2 | 2 |
| JONNY | R2 | P2 | 1 |
| PATRICK | R4 | P2 | 2 |

@tarocha , for that you need to create star schema with name, region, and product table. Name is a must in this case.

@tarocha - I created a table like this:
Names = DISTINCT('Table'[NAME])
I related this table to the other table and I replaced NAME column in this table for the NAME column in the original table for Rows. Once I did this, I could click on the dropdown arrow for NAME in Rows and select "Show items with no data".
See attached PBIX file below sig.
Click the dropdown next to Name in the values well and then click "Show items with no data"
