Show items with no data is making fields disappear?
Hello, I am having trouble with using the "show items with no data" setting, when I enable the setting it makes any fields that contain data that are placed to the right of a field containing no data in a table view will become blank. I am not sure I can really create good example data fo this, but as far as relationships go I have 5 data sources all with the same primary key, and all my relationships between the data sources are many to many and both for cross filter direction.
Best representation I could come up with:
show items with no data: disabled
| ID | Stat 1 | Stat 2 | [is this line visible] |
| 1 | [Blank] | 12 | no |
show items with no data: enabled
| ID | Stat 1 | Stat 2 | [is this line visible] |
| 1 | [Blank] | [Blank] | yes |
and this behaivour is also a result with show items with no data: enabled
| ID | Stat 2 | Stat 1 | [is this line visible] |
| 1 | 12 | [Blank] | yes |
Hi Asuna
It happens because this option removes filters that are based on relationships between the tables.
So in most pf scenarios, this is not a recommended option to use.
If the goal is to show rows without transactions try this method :

if it is something else :Please provide sample data that covers your issue or question completely, in a usable format (not as a screenshot).
