Handling skipped hierarchies

Hi All,

I'm currently working with financial data and wondering how to prevent blank levels from showing up in the matrix chart. Any ideas?

Hi @dhannaa ,

For this kind of matrix with ragged hierarchies, we cannot exclude blanks values through Filters panel. If you exclude data with blank values in the current level, the sub-level data will also not be displayed if the current level has sub-levels. It will not be possible to obtain your expected result. Maybe you can try the method in the following blog  and check if you can get the results you want.

Remove empty hirearchy levels

Thanks @Anonymous 

I've come found the same post you are referring to but haven't been able to solve this 🤔 Seems to me Power BI can handle ragged hierarchies with the help of INSCOPE function but with skipped hierarchies I haven't had success so far. The problem is that there are random levels missing/skipped but if child level always exists.

@dhannaa , you can add a visual level filter for each level <> blank

Thanks @amitchandak for your response.

Would it be possible to share me a pbix file of your solution, I just can't make it work that easily?
