Skip rows with condition using DAX

[Daemetius]

Greetings,

I'm trying to create a measure with an if statements and some actions.

For example I am looking to create a measure that checks if date column is blank on a row, then that row is skipped.

Name         Date

John          5/5/2017

Alice          6/1/2017

Ralf            (blank)

Jeff            8/9/2017

Here, Ralf is skipped since there is no date in that row and moves on to Jeff.

I think I would need more context into what you are trying to compute. Getting DAX/Power BI to move over the rows with (Blank) values is easy enough, but providing a comprehensive solution requires more information from you.

This is basically to show an amount of system incidents occurred over a period of 1 month (all this is an example). Then throw it into a bar graph that shows the number of issues on that month but skips those without a date. so if there are total of 20 rows and 3 have empty dates then the graph would show 17 instead of 20.

Here is a mock calculation with some sample data I used:

Measure Value = CALCULATE(COUNT(Data[Date]),Data[Date]<>BLANK())

Hi,

I think you do not even need the filter, because COUNT counts only values that are not blank.

So :

COUNT( Data[Date] )

should give you the expected result.

Have a nice day
