Hi @Snagalapur 

 

To exclude zero values from your line graph without affecting other measures or periods, you can modify your measure to return BLANK() when the value is zero. In Power BI, data points with BLANK() values are not plotted in line charts, effectively removing them from the visual.

 

Here's how you can do it:

Modify Your Measure:

Adjust the measure used in your line graph to return BLANK() when the result is zero. For example:

Adjusted Measure =
IF([Your Original Measure] = 0, BLANK(), [Your Original Measure])

Replace [Your Original Measure] with the actual measure you're using in the line graph.

Use the Adjusted Measure in Your Line Graph:

Replace the existing measure in your line graph with the new Adjusted Measure.
This will display all your data as before but will exclude the zero values from the line graph.

Thanks for the replies from Rupak_bi and VahidDM.

 

Hi @Snagalapur ,

 

I'll add one more detail here: If, after making changes to the measure, some data points are missing from the x-axis, you can select the X-axis field and click "Show item with no data".

Hi @Snagalapur ,

If the values are coming from column, put filter of those in the filter pane. J

If values are coming from a measure,

Put an if logic in the measure 

If ( max( table,value)= 0, blank(), the original 

  • Logic of the measure)).
  • If fails, please share sample dataset
