Hi how's the lockdown going, i hope you are fine 😊
On the powerBI screens "if there is no record, I want it to write 0 to the UI card"
I did these steps:
I wrote a measure using "countrows" that returns true if there is no record, and return false if there is no record.
I have created a column that allows to write 0 if the value from measure is true (if there is no data), and if not, enter the existing value.
Null checks are working (I can see yes or no data) but I could not get the column "to set the column 0 if there is no data"
Solved! Go to Solution.
@hasaneyldrm Why do you need the extra NullCheck measure? A measure adds CALCULATE() around it, so behaves a bit differently than using the actual formula in some scenarios.
Additionally, a COLUMN will NEVER use a MEASURE result in the way you expect, due to Power BI Order of Operations
Try creating a MEASURE:
NullLogs = IF(ISBLANK(COUNTROWS(time_entries_all)), 0, SUM(time_entries_all[time]))
You can change SUM to AVERAGE or whatever aggregation you had on the [time] column in your visual in screenshot.
