measure as a filter
Hello,
I am stuck on the following problem. Please help.
Table 1 contains:
My sales data is from a measure - from Table 2 (which I am able to do) is like:
My desired output is showing count of device at shop that has no sales.
I was trying to put into a matrix, but as soon as I put shop as row and even sales =0 as filter, all shops data shows regardless has sales or not.
Any help is appreciated.

I've updated the PBIX file from that simple model and have it working as I think you need.
Bascially I've added a +0 to the end to the end of the sales measure and also was careful about which shop field to use in my matrix. I use the field from Table2 rather than Table1
I use [Table 2] to effectively operate as a dimenstion table (one row per shop and now more). Which allows me to create a relationship with [Table1] and [Sales] that have many lines for each shop.
Otherwise you can't have a relationship between [Sales] and [Table2] and need to rely on some pretty in-efficient methods to create the calcualtion.

I managed to get it to work as fas as I understand you need to.
Is the Sales column in Table 2 and actual column or a calculated measure?
Here is the very basic PBIX File I mocked up

Thanks for your reply.
Sales info is a calculated measure from another table. (Basically, it is just sum of sales group by Shop to be shown).
