Measure Count and include blanks

Hi,

 

I would like to create a simple measure from table 1, Column 2 where the result should be a count of Green, Blue and Blanks. When working with visuals it does not include the blank cells.

 

Table 1

 

Column 1   Column 2

Case 1        Green

Case 2        Blue

Case 3

Case 4        Green

Case 5        Blue

Case 6

Case 7        Green

Case 8        Blue

 

Result:

Green = 3

Blue = 3

Blank = 2

 

Any idea how I could display the blanks in the visual part? (Either by counting blanks or adding zeros)

Ok understand it....

 

-Goto Edit Queries From Home Tab

-Select Column which has NULL Values

-Click on Replace Values

-Replace 'null' values with nothing

-Click 'OK'

Now you will see blank values in Donut Chart

Add calculated column and you get what you want.
 
Count Required for test = COUNT(Table1'[Required for Test])

What Visual you are working on  ???

 

You can see blank Values with counts unless you have Page /Report/Visual Level filter applied on it for blank values

Hi and thanks for the assistance.

 

This worked fine when I use excel as data source, but my real data uses direct queries from an sql database / view. That's probably why I need to figure out how to create a meaure that prints 0 instead of "null"

 

 

Then you should use ISNULL/COALESCE in SQL queries to handle Null Values.
