The most intuitive way would to explicitly check for a blank:
AuditorName = VAR _Date = 'DPMO Summary'[Date] VAR _ID = 'DPMO Summary'[Auditor ID] VAR _Name = CALCULATE ( MAX ( WWID[Name] ), REMOVEFILTERS (), WWID[WWID] = _ID, WWID[Issue Date] <= _Date, WWID[Return Date] >= _Date ) RETURN IF ( ISBLANK ( _Name ), _ID, _Name )You could also use COALESCE for the final line
COALESCE ( _Name, _ID )
