Printing 0-values with summarize
- 9 years ago
Hi,
I recently figured out how to solve the problem I was having. If I break it down, the real problem was that I wanted the table I create (as a summary of all the data in the master data file) did not show the months in which no data was recorded. So what I did is the following:
I created a static table with all the YearMonth combinations for the forseeable future and recorded past. (i.e. 2013-01 untill 2050-12)
Then I created a new calulated table with the DAX: Distinct(YearMonth) to print every individual value into this table.
Following I created an IF calculation on the SUM (and separately COUNT) of the incidentents in the following way:
IF(CALCULATE(SUM(<incidents>);<filters>)=blank();0;
CALCULATE(SUM(<incidents>);<filters>))
It works perfectly in this situation. Because this situation called for a moving average calculation over several fillers on data, I couldn't find a way to use the measure functionality. I would love to see the moving average be a feature in the visualization level in some future release. My opinion on the matter is that this should be Chart-functionality, not something I need to calculate myself.
