    Hi Zakaria_1980 ,

     

    It looks like a matrix. But you chose a card visual, which is puzzling.

     

    You can use the matrix visual to show the same effect.

     

     

     

    Here's the solution.

    1.Does your data model only have one table?

    If it is, use dax to create a Module table.

    Table 2 = DISTINCT('Table'[Module])

     

    2.Relationship is as follows.

     

    3.Create two measures.

    Target value = 
var _sum=SUM('Table'[Target])
return
IF(ISBLANK(_sum),"N/A",_sum)
    Acieved value = 
var _sum=SUM('Table'[Achieved])
return
IF(ISBLANK(_sum),"N/A",_sum)

     

    Then we get the results.

     

    Check the attachment for more details.

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Stephen Tao

HI Zakaria_1980 ,

 

What measure are you moving in your card visual which is displaying BLANK() ?

Also do you have any relationships going on at your end with your table?

 

Thanks,

Pragati

for relationships , i don't have it since i've just one Tbl.

that visual i shared with you displays blank() for one Module which is not forecatsed to be done in one city. i have one column if it's done any module =1 if not is 0, so i pick that column as data for me.

    HI Zakaria_1980 ,

     

    Sorry I didn't understand the calculation that is giving you BLANK() here.

    Can you please paste your formula for the calculation here please?

    We just need to modify the calculation somehow to replace BLANK() with N/A.

     

    Thanks,

    Pragati

        Hi Zakaria_1980 ,

         

        If you want to avoid BLANK(), then you will have to create a measure to handle this.

        I am assuming:

        • you are moving SUM(Consolidated[Certification Applcable]) to your card visual with an additional filter on Module = "PMO Practicioner".
        • Both Certification Applcable and Module columns are in same table Consolidated

         

        Write a measure something as below:

        cardCalc = 
var calc = CALCULATE(
                     SUM(Consolidated[Certification Applcable]), 
                     Consolidated[Module] = "PMO Practicioner"
                    )
RETURN
SWITCH(
       TRUE(), 
       calc = BLANK(), "N/A", calc
      )

        Just check the DAX once specially for any naming conventions and filter expression values.

        Move this measure to your card visual. It should display "N/A" not BLANK() now.

         

        Thanks,

        Pragati
