Hi All,
I'm a Power Bi novice! I have established a Power Bi report, and within the report I am counting the text value for a 'Completed' column. The text results are only 'True' or 'False'.
I have a count of all occurances which works fine, I am then counting all "True" values, all "False" values and all "False" values that are before today's date. As pictured below.
When I publish the report to My Workspace, the report initially shows as desired. When a dataset refresh occurs, I keep receiving the below result.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I've tried to create new columns, measures, etc. to no avail. I can't find an answer anywhere.
Any help is appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Fixed the issue! Converted the column to True/False data type, then used a measures to get count:
TrueCount = COUNTAX(FILTER('Table',[Completed]=TRUE()),TRUE())
And a measure so the card shows as '0' not '(Blank)' if no data:
TrueCountIf = IF('Table'[TrueCount]>=1,[TrueCount],0)
Hi,
You can hide the blank value using a Conditional Formatting rule on the Callout Value. The rule is 'if blank' then select the same color as the card or canvas background.
I have created a video tutorial on how to create the conditional rule: https://youtu.be/Xsmbfpa4oCA

Hi @jake97
How are you counting the values that show as BLANK?
After the data refresh, what data is in your dataset? Can you please provide this data.

Hi @PhilipTreacy, thank you for your response!
There are no blanks in the column I am counting. The data is populated from a SharePoint list, the default for "Completed" is FALSE (No).
Below is what the data looks like for the column I'm counting.
Is there anything else I can provide you with?
Thank you very much.
