Matrix Visual - Show Blank Values as Zero

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
