Hide rows with no values from template P&L

[marieke]

Hi,
Based on one of the EDNA courses, I have made a profit and loss account with a template. Everything is working fine except one thing. For some customers, not all topics are applicable.
So if a customers does not have for example Exploitatiekosten, it should not be shown.
Is there a way to hide these rows?
So for example, these rows in yellow should not be shown as they have no values:

This is the DAX formula I use to get the values in:

Annual Totals =

SWITCH( TRUE(),

‘Metric Selection’[Metric Selected] = “Bedragen”, FORMAT([Selected Year Actuals],“€#,0”),

‘Metric Selection’[Metric Selected] = “Percentage tov omzet”, [Selected Year Actuals %],

‘Metric Selection’[Metric Selected] = “Index tov vorig jaar”, FORMAT([Actuals Index],“0”) ,

BLANK())

I have tried to add a filter to this table with “Annual Totals <> blank”, but this is not working.

It would be great if somebody can help me!

Best regards, Marieke

Hi @marieke

Can you check if “Show items with no data” is enabled for any of the labels in the Rows section of the matirx?

Hi Melissa,

Yes, that is enabled for any of the labels.
If I disable that, the table still looks the same…

Thanks,

Hey @marieke,

The row headers are coming from a disconnected table if i am not wrong. Since this table is not being filtered directly i doubt you can hide them but you can replace blanks as 0 .

Hi @marieke,

Can you supply a small sample file because I checked your other PBIX file (here) and when “Show items with no data” is disabled, all blank rows are hidden.

Hi @Melissa and @Hemantsingh , i have attached a copy of the file.
I tried to replace BLANK () bij 0 but that is also not working as I want…

In my previous file the calculation for metric selected was not working at that moment. Perhaps that has caused the problem now?

Hi @marieke,

Thanks for providing a sample PBIX

Annual Totals = 
SWITCH( TRUE(),
    'Metric Selection'[Metric Selected] = "Bedragen", IF( FORMAT([Selected Year Actuals],"€#,0") ="", BLANK(), FORMAT([Selected Year Actuals],"€#,0")),
    'Metric Selection'[Metric Selected] = "Percentage tov omzet", [Selected Year Actuals %],
    'Metric Selection'[Metric Selected] = "Index tov vorig jaar", FORMAT([Actuals Index],"0"),
    0
)

The issue is caused by the FORMAT() function. When that returns a ‘blank’ it is actually returning an empty text string. So I added an IF statement checking for that “” and then returning a BLANK instead that resolves the issue.

I hope this is helpful.
