Hi,
I want to know how to set default value.
i have a table of names.. and i'm using a smart filter as search engine. When user search names, a name will be display in "card". But, in defaut mode (not searching anything) the "card" should display "Default" word not a first name in the table. How i want to do it.
Solved! Go to Solution.
hi, @leneprd
You could create a measure like below:
Measure = IF(ISFILTERED(Table1[Names]),FIRSTNONBLANK(Table1[Names],Table1[Names]),"default value")
Then drag this measure into card instead of name field
Result:
don't select any name
select one name
Best Regards,
Lin
Hi Everyone,
I am attempting this solution, but I am having trouble understanding why is (Table1[Names]) represented 3 times in this measure?
Table1[Names]
Measure = IF(ISFILTERED(Table1[Names]),FIRSTNONBLANK(Table1[Names],Table1[Names]),"default value")
I have a table of names and I'm using the basic filter pane for searching Customers. When the user selects a Customer, a name will be displayed in the card. BUT, If no Customer is slected, the card should display a differnt word, i.e. "Default," not the first name in the table.
Please help, it's not working for me! Thank you!

Create a measure that makes use of the HASONEVALUE or ISFILTERED functions. The logic would be something like "If Names is filtered then FIRSTNONBLANK of Names else "Default".
