How to create dummy columns in numeric order based on a date difference

[Jerush]

Hi All,

I have created a report using the matrix visual. The column is a date difference in month. 1, 2, 3.... Row is a date value.
There are some months "missing" purely due to what the data is, however it need to show those months just with a zero value.

So if its month 1 2 3 7 - I need to fill in 4 5 6, etc. Is there anyway of doing that without adding dummy data in the actual data.

Thank you all in advance.

Hi,

Can you guide me how we can move sub columns total to the left side of matrix?

Hi All,

I am working through the solution provider.. not sure if I am on the right track

I created a new table with the number of months required.

I joined this to my existing table

and this is what I get. Almost as an inner join?

Also when I join this to my data, which field do I use to the matrix to show the months 1 - 47 in this case.

THank you all again 😊

Hi Stephan,

THis solution looks like it will work. I am just working through the steps that has been given.  Still at a beginner level on power bi. 

Thank you though.

Create a new table and add relationship;

Months = SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(1,12,1),"MonthNo", [Value])

Add this new column to matrix.

Then change properties of  measure in visualisation "Show Item with no data" or change your measures to display 0 instedof BLANK()

@Jerush , Create a table with values , using generateseries

month= generateseries(1,12,1)

Join this with the column in your table.

Create a measure with +0 and use

count(Table[column]) +0
