How to HIDE constant value from future dates
Hello!
I have two tables: Date that is a CALENDAR with all dates and Meterage with a number value for dates from Dec 1 to 9.
There is a One-to-Many relationship between the tables via the Dates columns.
I can plot the Meterage on a Column Chart in a way so that the X axis (horizontal) will show all the days for December 1-31, whereas the Meterage will only fill the days 1 to 9, activating Show Items with no Data.
However, I need to add a constant value to the Meterage, so I created a Measure like this:
Measure = SUM('Meterage'[Meterage])+10000 // just a constant number to add.
Now if I switch the Meterage with the Measure to plot on the graph and get the constant number filled all the way through December.
How can I limit/restrict this and keep it only up to Dec 9, i.e. the Max Date in the Meterage table?
Is there a reason you use DIVIDE instead of this?
IF ( ISBLANK ( _sum ), BLANK(), _sum + _constant )

I think you forgot the +10000 constant in the last argument.
Maker this is what I will do to avoid recalculation of the sum
Sum with constant = VAR __sum = SUM ( 'Meterage'[Meterage] ) VAR __constant = 10000 RETURN ( __sum + __constant ) * DIVIDE ( __sum, __sum )✨ Follow us on LinkedIn

Hi,
Ensure that the last date in the Calendar table is today.
