Not Displaying Values on Chart

I am working on a power bi line chart and I want to exclude records from my line chart without changing the values by doing so.

 

I have a dataset which gives me a number of products and the month in which they were sold. When I put this into a table and display the number of sales per month as a percentage I get the below with the "Null" value being the items that are not sold.

I need to be able to display months 1-12 on a line chart , not displaying the null however using them for the overall percentage total. When I filter to show only where month > 0 , I am excluding the cases with no sale date from the percentage calcualation and they all rise. Is there a way to display this on a chart , and just not show certain values ?

    Hi Arranafc19 ,

     

    To create a measure as below.

     

    Measure =
    VAR alle =
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( Table1[sales] ),
            FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table1 ), Table1[month] <> BLANK () )
        )
    VAR su =
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( Table1[sales] ),
            FILTER ( Table1, Table1[month] <> BLANK () )
        )
    RETURN
        IF ( MAX ( Table1[month] ) = BLANK (), BLANK (), DIVIDE ( su, alle ) )

      Hi v-frfei-msft 

       

      Having looked at your solution , it looks as though you are excluding the null values from the percentage calculation which is not what I am looking for .

       

      I need the value of sales for month null to be included in the percentage calcuation but not to be displayed on the chart , as I am trying to get a percentage closed per month of overall.

       

      Is there a way to do this ?

        You can use the same measure for both.

         

        Click the chart, and on the right, select month (or add it if needed) in Visual level filters > Advanced Filtering > Show items when the value: is not blank > Apply Filter
