Trying to get persistent columns and rows when using a slicer

I want to format a table visualization with columns and rows that are persistent even when all the contents of the cells in the row or column are non-existent. The contents of the table is controlled by a slicer.

 

For example, if there is a value in each cell, the table looks like this.

 

Introduced

Working

Rejected

Green

3

1

2

Red

5

2

3

Yellow

6

5

1

 

However, if the there is no data for some of the cells, the table looks like this.

 

Introduced

Working

Green

3

3

Yellow

6

6

 

I would like the table to look like this

 

Introduced

Working

Rejected

Green

3

3

 

Red

 

 

 

Yellow

6

I have tried various combinations of formatting and I cannot get it to work.

Hi,

I cannot download your file but if you are OK with substituting blank with 0, then drag this measure to your visual

Measure = coalesce([your measure],0)

Hope this helps.

I placed a sample powerBI file on One Drive

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkwaMVVWng4DyU4CMNheoh1z9pUs?e=MxTjGY

It illustrates the issue I am having. It does not match my original description exactly but illustrates the issue perfectly.

 

I have also been looking at changing blanks to zeroes

but my limited experience with Power BI is preventing me from getting it to work in this case.

 

Any help with this is welcome

This is brilliant.  I have not used disconnected tables before. I spent a few hours applying it to my production visulaization and it worked like a charm.

 

Thanks a million for updating the file and sending it back.  It was a huge help.

Unfortunately the "Show items with no data" did not work.  The visualization is a matrix and the values are the count of the rows in each column.

You need to select an option of "Show items with no data" .

It is available in the formatting option of visual, select drop-down of your rows section and this option would be visible.

To report on things that are not there you need to use disconnected tables and/or crossjoins
