@nisha_deepak , In power bi isblank can be used to check blank in DAX and null in power query

New column like

if(isblank[col1]),0,[col1])

or

if(isblank[col1]),0.0,[col1])

 

Power Query

if [col1] = null then 0 else [col1]

You should be able to use a custom format string to display your column in the desired format.

Use custom format strings in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

i try this...

           

if(ISBLANK([column1]),0.00,[column1])
 i am getting o only not 0.00.

Hi @nisha_deepak ,

Firstly, it can't exist multiple data types in the same field. What's the data type of field [column1]? How did you set the data type of new calculated column with formula if(ISBLANK([column1]),0.00,[column1])? If the data type of [column1] is numeric type, you can set the data type for your calculated column as below screenshot:
