Hi there,
I'm running into a problem where the line chart is not showing 0 values when blank, even though I use a DAX to display 0 in such case.
Measure = IF(
ISBLANK(
DISTINCTCOUNT([ID])
),0,DISTINCTCOUNT([ID])
)
In this scenario the date is from the same table.
However when I use the date field from another table, the 0 does get shown. That table is a calendar table with dates and it has an active relationship to the data table.
How can I get the first example to show the 0 on the chart by using the date field in the same table? I'm required to use that date field due to another DAX being dependant on it.
use DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK() to get that result. DISTINCTCOUNT only returns a blank when there are no rows to count. If there are rows but they are null/blank, DISTINCTCOUNT will count them.
If that doesn't help, provide info per below. Otherwise we are guessing as to your model layout, the data, etc.

MCSA: BI ReportingThanks. Tried DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK() and it didn't work. As for the visual I have filters applied which is what creates the blank values.
Here's what the relationship looks like:
Unfortunately I'm not able to upload a sample pbix.
