Small multiples stacked bar chart -- how to omit missing data from Y axis

I have a stacked bar chart with City as the Y-axis, Funding amount as the X-axis, Source as the legend, and year as a small multiple. 

 

Some cities do not have rows of data for all of the years displayed. This means that they show up in the y-axis but are blank. I would like for cities with 0 funding in a given year to show up as blank, but I don't want this same behavior for cities that simply don't have a row for the given year. 

 

I tried using a visual-level filter as suggested on this post (https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Small-multiples-chart-filtered-for-each-group/m-p/3198209#M1077229) but it doesn't work, I think because year isn't blank per se, it just doesn't exist for some city/year combinations. Is there any way to omit cities without a row for a given year from the y-axis for that year? Thanks in advance

    Hi Anonymous ,

    I create a table as you mentioned.

    Then I create a measure and here is the DAX code.

     

    Measure = 
IF(
    SUM('Table'[FundingAmount]) = 0,
    BLANK(),
    SUM('Table'[FundingAmount])
)

     

    Finally you will see what you want.

     

     

     

    Best Regards

      Hi Yilong Zhou,

       

      Thanks for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately this does not address the issue I am running into. The year/city combination in my data is already blank, not 0. As you can see in the image you shared, there is still a space for City B in all four quadrants, which takes up valuable space (I also have this formatted differently, with city on the y axis and a single view instead of multiple quadrants). 

       

      I'm including an image as a better example of my problem. As you can see, in 2023 all nine cities are showing up on the y axis. However, the data for cities 3, 6, 7, and 8 are all blank. I want to squish together the other cities so the visual does not take up so much space, but when you scroll down to earlier years, I want all cities that have data to show up (including cities 3, 6, 7, and 8 when they have funding). Is this possible?
