UNICHAR WITH NO VALUEundefined

Hi,

I use unichar to show the values with icons. When there is no value, i see the icon "(BLANK" which i don't like. I tried different things but it didn't work. Here is my measure:

Arrow_K =
VAR down = UNICHAR(9660)
VAR slightdown = UNICHAR(9660)
var slightup = UNICHAR(9650)
VAR up = UNICHAR(9650)
VAR same = UNICHAR(9866)

VAR DIF = [AVE] - [Previous]
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
       DIF<=-0.01, up,
       DIF > 0.01, down, "-")
 
If i would not use switch, i know how to do it such as:
measureworks =
VAR calc=
calculate(SUM......)
Return
If(ISBLANK(calc), "N/A", calc)
 
However i could not succeed with it, when i use switch. can you help me on this?
thanks in advance

Arrow =
VAR down = UNICHAR(9660)
VAR up = UNICHAR(9650)

VAR DIF = [SumPred] - [SumQty]
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
       ISBLANK(DIF), "",
       DIF<=-0.3, up,
       DIF > -0.3, down,  "-")

Try this measure.

Hi,

 

I made a simple pbix file. If there is no value, the arrow should be "n/a" or should not show down or up. This selection doesn't have value, which i showed with the card. However, the arrow is down. The file is loaded here. thanks in advance. https://we.tl/t-uCXGWX8Mcn
