GroupBy function to include zero values

Hi,

I am looking to group my data of InvoicedQty by Yearmonth. I need the grouped sum data to include zero values.
I have data in the following format:

 

YearMonth

InvoicedQty

2019/01100
2019/0225
2019/0235
2019/0232
2019/0214
2019/0552
2019/0513
2019/0652

 

I would need the outcome to look like this:

 

YearMonth

InvoicedQty

2019/01100
2019/02106
2019/030

2019/04

0

2019/05

65

2019/06

52

 

I have succeeded in grouping the data but seem to not be able to make the YearMonths with zero invoicedQty to not dissappear. Any tips?

Hi @Dinesh_Suranga ,

 

This does work, it leaves the value blank. My apologies, my purpose did not become clear earlier. I need to then use the dataset to create a r visual. want to create a forecast. The dataset I need for the R visual needs to contain a 0 for the months with no InvoicedQty, not blank. To my knowledge this does not fix this issue.
Thank You.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you use a separate calendar table?  

Thank you.

Hi @Dinesh_Suranga ,

I have a separate table containing all possible YearMonth values but am having trouble connecting it to the group function. Did you have some idea in mind?
Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to create this in the power query side?

Thank you

Hi @Dinesh_Suranga 
Perhaps rather as DAX, but which ever way works best.
Thank you

Hi @Anonymous,

Please try this first.

Right click on YearMonth tick show item with no data.

If it does not work, will go to the next step.

Thank you.
