Make Card Visual show 0 not Blank

I've got a card visual which is just showing a count of how many items match my filter. It works great when there are items matching, but if nothing matches it shows (Blank). How can I make it show 0...

    Hi srhsloan,

     

    Power BI measures behave like that by design. You need to set it in your measure If you want to override this behavior. You can make your DAX measure something like this:

     

     

    MEASURE =
IF ( ISBLANK ( SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ) ), 0, SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ) )

     

    Be aware that the this will affect how the visuals that use this modified measure and other measures that are dependent on this modified measure look.

You can also use the following if the dataType of the column you are working with is "string":

hope this helps anyone.

 

MEASURE =
IF ( ISBLANK ( COUNTA('Table'[Sales] ) ), 0, COUNTA('Table'[Sales] ) )
