@Maheshgm-

Have a look at this, although it's quite straightforward. I'm not certain if it aligns perfectly with your requirements.

You should inspect the Filters pane and identify the field leading to the appearance of empty bars in your graph. This is usually the field you've assigned to your chart's Axis. You'll want to adjust this filter to exclude blank entries.

OR

Alternatively, as a hypothetical scenario, consider that I've composed a DAX measure which tallies the sum of 'ProductSales' only when 'Region' isn't empty. Consequently, it prevents the blank 'Region' entries from being displayed on the chart.

 

Product Sales (No Blanks) = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Sales'[ProductSales]),
    'Sales'[Region] <> BLANK()
)

 

 

Hi @Manoj_Nair Thank you for your response. I tried both the ways but still issue was not resolved. Can you please suggest me any other approach.

@Maheshgm- Can you pls, send me a sample dataset or PBIX file, remove all confidential info.

Dax  which i used in chart in legend :

Dax =

IF('raw data'[Rating]== BLANK(),

IF(AND('raw data'[Rating]>=0, 'raw data'[Rating]<=0.5),

IF(AND('raw data'[Rating]>=0.6,'raw data'[Rating]<=1.5),

IF(AND('raw data'[Rating]>=1.6,'raw data'[Rating]<=2.5),

IF(AND('raw data'[Rating]>=2.6,'raw data'[Rating]<=3.5),

IF('raw data'[Rating]>3.5))))))
