Replacing blank values with zero

[ronaldbalza2023]

Hi everyone, having a hard time trying to figuring out this one and appreciated the help!

Question: How can I replace the blank/empty rows with zero? I highlighted the empty rows with grey for the meantime and wanted to replace it by zero.

This measure removes the columns that has empty values

P&L (No Blanks) = CALCULATE( IF( [P&L] = 0, BLANK(), [P&L]))

 These are the measures of P&L

P&L = 
(
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Invoices'[Line Amount FX Calculation] ),
        FILTER (
            'Accounts',
            Accounts[Class] = "Revenue"
                || Accounts[Class] = "Expense"
        ), USERELATIONSHIP( Invoices[Invoice Line ID], 'Tracking Category CONNECTIONS'[ID])
    )
) - [P&L - Credit Notes] + [P&L (Journals)]

P&L - Credit Notes = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Credit Notes'[Line Amount Credit Note Calculation FX] ),
    FILTER (
        'Accounts',
        'Accounts'[Class] = "Revenue"
            || Accounts[Class] = "Expense"
    ), USERELATIONSHIP( 'Credit Notes'[Credit Note Line ID], 'Tracking Category CONNECTIONS'[ID])
)

P&L (Journals) = 
CALCULATE ( 0 - ( SUM ( 'Journals'[Net Amount FX] ) ),
    FILTER ( 'Journals', 'Journals'[Split] = "JOURNALS" ),
    FILTER (
        'Accounts',
        'Accounts'[Class] = "Revenue"
            || Accounts[Class] = "Expense"
    ), USERELATIONSHIP( Journals[ID], 'Tracking Category CONNECTIONS'[ID])
)

@ronaldbalza2023 You're converting the 0s to blanks with the P&L (no blanks) measure. Are you saying you want that back to 0? Can you simply use the P&L measure?

The problem is, that you have a matrix so it will replace ALL rows with zero - how do you specify which rows you want to show or not?

You may be able to work with an IF() statement, but we need to know which columns you're using in that matrix visual please and you could use that context to filter out rows where the total row is blank, otherwise put 0 - is that what you mean?

@ronaldbalza2023  Sorry, I was trying with a simplified version of [P&L] but you're right it doesn't work in your measures. 

Try updating the [P&L (No Blanks)] measure and use that in your visual instead:

P&L (No Blanks) =

VAR _ColSubTotal = CALCULATE([P&L], ALL(DimAccount[Account Type), ALL(DimAccount[Name]))

VAR _Result =

IF(_ColSubTotal <> 0, [P&L])

RETURN _Result

I don't know what table the Account Type and Name are coming from, so you may need to update that part of the measure.

@ronaldbalza2023 I thought your [P&L] measure already had the $0 included in it? So the $0 should display if you've got the ColSubtotal part correct....

You could try adding the zero back in: 

P&L (No Blanks) =

VAR _ColSubTotal = CALCULATE([P&L], ALL(DimAccount[Account Type), ALL(DimAccount[Name]))

VAR _Result =

IF(_ColSubTotal <> 0, [P&L]+0)

RETURN _Result

That's because they are blank for that account type. Do you have a DimAccount table?

Can try replacing the ALL filters with just 

ALL(DimAccount)
