I have a view with columns SQServerName, DatabaseName,LastBackupDate. I am using a matrix visual with drill down. I would like to see the backup date only when I drill down from SQLServer to the Database rows. How not to show the BackupDate on the SQLServerName row.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous
You can use this measure:
Measure = IF(ISINSCOPE('Table (2)'[Database]),MAX('Table (2)'[LastBackupDate]))
Please note that "Show items as no data" is enabled in SQLservername:
Pbix attached.
@Anonymous create a measure for LastBackupDate and then use ISINSCOPE function to return BLANK() value when your scope is SQL Server Name

Would appreciate Kudos if my solution helped.

new to powerbi, I tried this:, seeing a syntax error:
mLastBackupDate = IF(ISINSCOPE(vwBackupInfo[DatabaseName]),vwBackupInfo[LastBackupTime],Blank())
Hi @Anonymous
You can use this measure:
Measure = IF(ISINSCOPE('Table (2)'[Database]),MAX('Table (2)'[LastBackupDate]))

well, the problem now is, when i click the drill up icon, all my data disappears if i use a measure.
@Anonymous you need to add this as a measure and use aggregation like MAX or MIN
