Help With Blank Values Follow-up

Hi all,

 

I need help with DAX or custom column. I am following mandatory fields that my team needs to fill. So, if some field is missing, a table shows blank value on a cell. 

 

Basically, I would like a card visual to show number of blank values in a whole dataset containing around 20 columns. 

 

Sample data and table illustrated below:

So, totally 15 cells are blank, and need to be filled. 

Additionally, I would like to create a visual that shows the number of blank values for each person.

Like:

 

James: 3

Jack: 1

Fernando: 3

Kate: 4

Robert: 4

 

Any suggestions how the problem could be solved? If more information is needed, don't hesitate to ask.

 

Thanks,

Jere Aallikko

5. Create a measure

count = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Blank]),GROUPBY('Table','Table'[reporter]))

You can add custom column using dax to the the table as follows:

Number of Blanks = 
COUNTROWS(
 FILTER( {TABLE02[ID], TABLE02[Amount], TABLE02[Created], TABLE02[Status], TABLE02[Department] , 
 TABLE02[Product]}, [Value] = BLANK() )
)

 

Insert a card visual and include the newly created column, Use a Table visual to include Reporter Name and the new column to show by name.
