If Field is blank, use another formula
Hi all
I need help combing 2 measures in one.
Every month I received a manual Excel file with Finance Actuals from previous months
| Date | Country A Prod 1 | Country A Prod 2 | Country A Total | Country B Prod 1 | Country B Prod 2 | Country B Total |
| 7/1/2022 | $36,541 | $0 | $36,541 | $135,488 | $63,099 | $198,586 |
| 8/1/2022 | $7,628 | $0 | $7,628 | $12,790 | $275,085 | $287,875 |
| 9/1/2022 | $19,894 | $7,206 | $27,100 | $16,176 | $129,490 | $145,666 |

On the other hand, I have the USD field in another table called "weekly Slippage" that I can filter x month.
What I need is a formula that uses the Finance numbers (Monthly Actuals Table) and , if blank, uses the USD field from the Weekly Slipapge table.
HI Mangaus1111
Thanks for your comment. Tried the Coalesce function but not really working.
Found another possible solution:
Actuals =VAR Actuals = 'Monthly Actuals'[All Countries Actuals]RETURNIF (ISBLANK (Actuals), 'Weekly Slippage'[FY23_Starts],Actuals)whereFY23_Starts = CALCULATE(SUM('Weekly Slippage'[USD]), DATESBETWEEN('Weekly Slippage'[Ops Forecast & Actuals], DATE(2022,7,1), DATE (2023,06,01)))But now i have another issue:IT seems it works for the "All countries Actuals"Actuals numbers for July, August and September = All Countries ActualsTHe thing is that for Oct to Jun Actuals numbers should match FY23_Starts but it's not trully happening. It seems is adding estra USD amount and I don't know why.jgeddes (in case you have time. thanks)

It seems the new measure was not taken into account the "Filter on this page".
had to create a new measure including the filter.
thanks.
