First non blank does not work

Hey everyone

I'm trying to use first non blank in DAX. The value I'm trying to use is available in the other refresnced table but it's not working. 

Almost tried everything. 

Why is it not working for this case!! 

 

 

First I tried this DAX first, trying to get the shipment number from FACT_TMS table 

SHIPMENT_NUMBER2 =
CALCULATE (
FIRSTNONBLANK ( Fact_TMS_reports[SHIPMENT_NUMBER], 1 ),
FILTER ( ALL( Fact_TMS_reports ), Fact_TMS_reports[VOUCHER_ID] = Fact_GL[New PONumber ] )
)
 
then thought it might because there is more than one line for this PO, so I created different table that has unique value but it is still not working. 
 
SHIPMENT_NUMBER3 =
CALCULATE (
FIRSTNONBLANK ( Ref_TMS_Reports[SHIPMENT_NUMBER], true() ),
FILTER ( ALL( Ref_TMS_Reports ), Ref_TMS_Reports[Correct Voucher ID] = Fact_GL[New PONumber ] )
)

 

Both are giving blank. 

Here below you can find the excel sample.

Appreciate your help. firstnonblank 

Thanks

  • ritanoori , if this is a new column this should work

    minx(filter(Ref_TMS_Reports, Ref_TMS_Reports[Correct Voucher ID] = Fact_GL[New PONumber ]),Ref_TMS_Reports[SHIPMENT_NUMBER])

     

     

    or

     

    minx(filter(Ref_TMS_Reports, Ref_TMS_Reports[Correct Voucher ID] = Fact_GL[New PONumber ] && not(isblank(Ref_TMS_Reports[SHIPMENT_NUMBER])) ),Ref_TMS_Reports[SHIPMENT_NUMBER])

      So glad I found this, thank you!!

       

      FIRSTNONBLANK was returing values for certain Lookup cells but not the others...
