IF statement and how to avoid blanks

Hi All,

 

I have very simple task but it seems to me that it is an issue with Power BI.

 

I have a looped IF however when there is no value it gives me BLANK as oppose to 0.

 

 Measure= IF('Table1'[Col A] <> 0

, 'Table1'[Col A],IF('Table1'[Col B] <> 0

, 'Table1'[Col B], IF('Table1'[Col C] <> 0

, 'Table1'[Col C],IF('Table1'[Col D] <>0

,'Table1'[Col D], IF('Table1'[Col E] <> 0

, 'Table1'[Col E], 0)))))

 

I tried to add + 0 at the end but it did not work,

 

Need Help

    The answer is rather easy.

     

    I added a measure with the simplest code possible.

     

    Measure2=sum('Table1'[Measure]) + 0

    Hi

    Where did you add the 0, if you add it as shown below it should display 0.

     

    Measure= IF('Table1'[Col A] <> 0, 'Table1'[Col A],
                     IF('Table1'[Col B] <> 0, 'Table1'[Col B],
                         IF('Table1'[Col C] <> 0, 'Table1'[Col C],
                             IF('Table1'[Col D] <>0,'Table1'[Col D],
                                IF('Table1'[Col E] <> 0, 'Table1'[Col E], 0)
                                   )
                                 )
                             )
                       )+0

    Thanks
    Raj
