show all dim records, even with no fact data, but keep filters

[wilson_smyth]

I have a list of persons who are assigned to sites.
For each day, i want to see what persons were onsite and what persons were not.

I need to be able to do this while still filtering by site. i.e. i only see persons for the selected site.

The issue i have is if i create a measure to count a users records, users with no records will not be present.
If i wrap that measure in an IF, so it assigns 0 if there is no record, i see all persons for all sites, not a problem here, but in my real dataset with thousands of persons, it is a big issue.

How can i see all persons for the select site, and if they were present on a paritcular day or not?

Below is a screenshot of sample data and desired result if i had selected site A, and a link to a pbix containing this sample data. Appretiate any expertise provided.

Hi @wilson_smyth 

I have changed the relationships and get the following result with your attached pbix file (see below):

thanks. thats a help, and its helped me refine my question!

This shows persons with no records, but if i select a date, i only see people on that date. On any given day, i need to see the people who were onsite and the people who were not. An indicator measure would work, i.e. 1 if they were onsite, 0 if they were not. 

Will play with and build on the idea you provided.

Thanks!

hi  @wilson_smyth 

You could use this measure as below:

Records = 
IF(CALCULATE(MAX('Fact'[personid]))<>BLANK()&&MAX(DimPerson[assigned site]) in VALUES(DimSite[siteID]),1,IF(MAX(DimPerson[assigned site]) in VALUES(DimSite[siteID]),0))

Result:

 

here is sample pbix file, please try it.
