ZERO for measure returning no values

[Anonymous]

Dear Community

I have two measures and if the one does not return a value and the other one does, then the one that should be blank must return a ZERO/hyphen.

The problem is that my measure returns ZERO/hyphen for ALL values in the relevant dimension column in my visual, and not just the dimensions that have values.

Result required : I would like to filter out the dimension values that don't have a result in any of the measures in the visual. eg below, the red blocks should not be in the visual.

How can I amend my measure to achieve this? HASONEVALUE? ISINSCOPE? Or should I use a visual filter? Other solutions?

I would also like a solution, if possible, that does not require you to specify specific dimensions. Any dimension should be able to work with the solution.

Measure 1 and 2 - without ISBLANK
VAR _result =
CALCULATE (
[Measure],
FILTER (
'DIM_Types',
'DIM_Types'[Type] = "Refund"
)
)

RETURN
IF ( ISBLANK(_result), 0, _result )

Measure 1 - with ISBLANK
VAR _result =
CALCULATE (
[Measure],
FILTER (
'DIM_Types',
'DIM_Types'[Type] = "Refund"
)
)

RETURN
IF ( ISBLANK(_result), 0, _result )

 if the one does not return a value and the other one does, then the one that should be blank must return a ZERO/hyphen.

That is a design red flag.  Using a hyphen may be common practice in financial reports but it is anathema to Power BI.  Leave the spot blank.

(You will see hacks that say   measure = 0+calculation   but these are only masking your problem, they are not solving it)

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.
