Replacing Values in the Visual (Calculated) Column

Dear All:

All the best in all the reporting. I am too new to Power BI but the current stage where I am stuck has made me Go Through Power BI a lot. A blessing in disguise. 🙂

I need to Replace the values in the Column of Visual (obviously the column is showing values on specific conditions on the source) with the Values of another Column on the same visual, if the first column calculates any null values.

Please help in this regard.

As you can see below, i want to replace the values in Comm Veh Avg Pay (4th Column) if it is blank with the respective value in Total (ZF10 CC) (5th Column) if that is again blank, then with the values of next column which is Private Veh Cost. 

I am stuck since days, please help in this regard. Thanks in Advance as well.

or some variation.  You can use nested IF if needed, or even SWITCH TRUE

I mean you should write a measure that reacts to the circumstances that are presented in the visual.

THANKS for the reply, did you mean that I need to create the Columns in visuals using "new measure"? Instead of using "New Column" or making the column calculated by the VISUAL TABLE'S filters?

I mean you should write a measure that reacts to the circumstances that are presented in the visual.
