When Adding column from other table, it filters my rows

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with building my report which is based on a table visual.

I'm connecting columns from multiple tables into 1 visual so that all the information is in 1 overview.

All the tables have a relationship which works.

For example:

Table 1 has 1 column server name that I got from Active Directory (500 servers)

Table 2 has 2 columns that I got from WSUS (Server names & Updates needed)

Both server name columns have a relationship

Now when I make the overview in the visual, and put in the server name column from AD and Updates needed column from WSUS I only have about 300 servers in the overview. The other 200 servers are not in WSUS (apparently), and those rows are filtered of the visual. I need that specific value to stay empty. so that I get an overview of the 500 servers from AD with some servers needing updates, and those where updates needed is empty, mean I need to get them in WSUS.

Bu I can't seem to get this done?

Hi @Anonymous,

Can you please share a pbix or some dummy data that keep the raw data structure with expected results? It should help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.

So tha AD table and WSUS table have a relation, but ad soon as I add the Updated Needed column a lot of row are filtered out of the table visual. Hope you see the problem.

HI @Anonymous,

AFAIK, power bi will auto hide the blank records in the visual. You can right click on the category field to choose 'show item with no data' option to force display these hidden records.

Be aware that when other controls will filter the one having "show item with no data", you will still see the others records.
