Hi,

 

Can you expand on this a bit more and maybe post some sample data? It sounds like you just want to use an IF statement in your measure to show one field but replacement text if it's blank. if so something like the below should work:

 

IF(ISBLANK('Table'[Field]),"Replacement Text", 'Table'[Field])

 

If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍

Hi, thank you. But with this formule i can select only measures and not tables. Do you know how to select a table with this measure? 

 

You could use a calculated column to select table fields instead of a measure
