Hello,
I'm using a matrix visual with many columns. I would like to show blank values as zero. In Excel, there is a simple option checkbox for this, but I can't seem to find any equivalent in PowerBI. I know one solution would be along the lines of switching to a table visual, creating a separate measure for each column and adding zero at the end of the measure, but I would really prefer to avoid having to do this given the number of columns. Does anyone know of a simpler solution?
Thanks!

Hi mstone3,
If you want to show blank value as zero like below
You could use expression like below
Column= marix[amoaunt]+0
If you want to fill blank area with zero in matrix like below
Because the records don’t exist in dataset, so it will show blank. So you need to create a related table like below
Use this filed in Matrix, then create measure like below
Measure 7 = SUM(marix[amoaunt])+0
