How to count all nonblank values in a matrix visual

Hi, 

 

I have created a matrix visual similar to the following. With the first column A,B,C being the names. And the first row 21,22,23 the dates. The values is a measure that sums up how many burgers they have eaten - Calculate(sum('Food'[Eaten]), Filter('Food', [Type] ="Burger"))

Now I want to create a Scorecard that counts the total of nonblank values in the visual. In this case it would be 8 as there is only 1 cell that is blank in this 3x3 matrix. 

 

Any help would be appreciated thanks!!

Hi @shun888 ,

If I understand correctly, the issue is that you want to count all nonblank values in a matrix visual. Please try the following methods and check if they can solve your problem:

1.Create the Food table.

2.Move the Name field into the Rows, move the Date into the Columns and move the Eaten into the Values.

3.Create a measure that counts the total of nonblank values in the visual. Enter the following DAX formula.

 

Measure 2 = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(Food[Eaten]),FILTER(Food,[Type] = "Burger")
)

4.Publish the report to the service.

 

5.Create a new scorecard.

@shun888, This measure can help
