Power Bi select all from left

Hi

 

I have two data tables Master Data Table and Comments Data Table both with connected via a relationship with the reference number.

 

I want to display the following fields in a final visual table Reference Number, Status and Comments

However when I add the Comments field the amount of lines reduces as some of the reference numbers will not have comments next to them. The final visual talbe is ignore the ones with no comments and only diplaying the ones with comments. I am asuming its ti do with not showing left join?

Perhaps create a Comments measure, something like:

 

Comments Measure = IF(ISBLANK(MAX('Comments Data Table'[Comment])),"none",MAX('Comments Data Table'[Comment]))

 

Use that in your visual instead of the Comment column.
