Why Blank Row Is Created?

[Jungbin]

Hi there!

I have two tables: People, Information. And they have a 1 : Many relationship by [Name] field.

I also made a Measure below:

# of ID Created in 2023 = CALCULATE(COUNTA('Information'[ID])+0,'Information'[Created Date]>=DATE(2023,1,1))

Though I don't have a blank cell in my [Team] Column in 'People' table, the Power BI matrix keeps returning me a blank row with 0.

Does anyone know why this happens? Plus, I want that row to be excluded from my matrix without touching Filter. Is it possible?

Hi @Jungbin 
It happens because you are adding 0.
So to resolve it you need to create the formula without "+0" or to filter out the blank row from the filter pane.
The filter can be blocked and invisible to the user.

I use same DATA and make same matrix.

But there is no blank row in the matrix made by me.

I think you made some relationships to other tables.

I think the cause of the problem lies in those relationships.

Hi, @Ritaf1983! 

Thanks for your comment. Now, the blank row disappeared after deleting "+0".

I want to keep "+0" in my formula to show "0" next to "Others" team in my result matrix.

So, in this case, to filter out the blank row from the filter pane would be the only possible option, right?

Hi @Jungbin 
Seems like "yep" about the filter pane, even if it is not the only possible, it is definitely the easiest option.

Glad to help 🙂
