scroller 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.
Hey,
I created a little gif that explains how to create a measure.
On the left hand side (lhs) from the equal sign the name of the measure is given on the right hand side (rhs) the expressiion is given, so you just simply mixed it up a little.
Please be aware that the measure "empty string" first has the constant value 0. This is not for demonstration, but otherwise I was not able to use the measure in combination with the scroller visual.
After I changed the constant from 0 to "" it takes a small moment until the gets updated.

Tom
Brilliant man!
Thank you so much!!
Is a good idea but seems like it did not work with Direct Query
Instead of that, you can go to your data source and create a column that contains nulls values. That works!
