Removing Blank from s Distinct function Table.

Hi Guys, I've created a table of distinct values from another table. However, I have a blank cell that's carried across. The blank cell is preventing me from creating a one to many relationship to the original MasterData table. It's coming up many to many.  How can I remove this blank cell so it will allow me a one to many connection?  The DAX below is what I have. Thanks. 

SubProduct Grp = DISTINCT(Masterdata[Sub Category])

Hey Try using this Dax formula

SubProduct Grp = Distinct(Not(isblank(Masterdata[Sub Category])))

SubProduct Grp = FILTER(DISTINCT(Masterdata[Sub Category]),[Sub Category]<>BLANK())

It solved my problem, thanks

Hi Ahmedx, thanks for replying.

I ended up, in the Query editor, referencing my main table, removing blank rows, removing duplicates, then deleting all other columns to create my new Lookup table. Then loaded that into the report. Everyhting works fine now. Cheers.
