    Hi Binway ,

     

    Please change the relationship between your date table and fact table to single direction

     

     

    Then use the following measure:

     

    New Amounts = 
VAR __min = CALCULATE ( MIN ( MonthlySales[month_starting]), ALLSELECTED(MonthlySales))
VAR __max = CALCULATE ( MAX ( MonthlySales[month_starting]), ALLSELECTED(MonthlySales))
VAR RESULT = IF(MAX(date_dim[first_day_of_month])>=DATE(YEAR(__min-10),MONTH(__min-10),1)&&MAX(date_dim[first_day_of_month])<=__max ,
                        SUM(MonthlySales[Sales])+0) return RESULT

Sorry Dedmon - same result where the +0 is just not working if you filter it.  How would I create a "virtual table" with all the missing values, then filter that.

Thanks - appreciate the efforts.

Hi Binway ,

 

It's better that you can share us some sample pbix file.

 

Best Regards,

    Thanks for looking at this.

    You should be able to get the pbix from google drive here - LineChartTest 

    All I am trying to do is add 0 for the missing values when connected to the date_dim, which works fine but no matter what I do I can't then filter this data down to just display the date values in the data table.

    Please check the permission of the shared file. I can't download it.

    Thanks so much Demon,

    I'll see how it works on the real data.

     

    Thanks again.
