Hey,

 

wondering what happens if you would create a blank measure like so:

blank measure = BLANK()

And then just simple use this measure.

 

Regards,

Tom

    Hey,

     

    That did sound like that it might work but when i tried using the blank measure - it just wont load any visual.

      Hey,

       

      just checked - this will work, create a measure that is an empty string like so:

      empty string  = ""

      Do you might explain, what's your use case for using the Scroller custom visual  w/o a measure?

       

      Regards,
      Tom

        Hey Tom,

         

        So the 'higher-ups' decided that they wanted a news ticker type visual for progress and top stories within the organziation. And this seemed like a good visual to use. 

         

        To be honest im still fairly new using power bi so not sure how to use a measure properly here. I tired this solution - im probably doing something wrong cause it isnt working for me. Could you please give more details.

         

        At the moment I create this measure with empty string = "" but when i tired to drag it into measures it wont work.
