Matrix and Zero Columns

[PaulDenne]

Hi all 

I have looked at previous posts about hiding /filtering out Zero columns in a Matrix

they all seem to suggest having a measure and the applying a filter to that but my Matrix has approx 50 columns 

would I have to create a measure for every column? 

The Matrix at the moment just shows the 50 columns with a count for about 10 rows for our different bases like 

HUB	INC1	INC2	INC3	INC4	INC....	INC50	Total
A	1	1	0	0	0	0	2
B	0	1	0	0	0	1	2
C	0	1	0	0	1	1	3
Total	1	3	0	0	1	2	7

thanks

just tested, makes table easier to read removing all the Zeros but does not hide column from view if all blank still, INC3 and INC4 would still show but the zero are blanks

hope was to hide the unused columns as depending on slider selection, could be 30 + not needed making the table very unnecessarily wide

Hi @PaulDenne 

The reason the values still show is because the measure is put into the table/matrix. 

A workaround is that you need to use disconnected table measure, which should allow use a table for the values and if there are no values then it should not display.

thanks will try to have a look at that later today

WHat you could do is when you bring your data in, you could change the zero to null?

Null values are not shown by default in Power BI.
