Hello Community,
I have a request from my users to not show blanks on a Matrix base on time as shown in the picture:
Did try to mask with IF conditions ISBLANK but did remove the Matris out-of-date context.
My support question is if anyone has a solution to mask the Blank cells is no data to any other character. One of the reasons is also if there are Blank intervals the matrix table excludes the months with GAP.
Warm Regards, and thank you!

Hi Jose
You could try the Format function. Build your measure something like this
YourFormattedMeasure =
IF(ISBLANK([YourMeasure],
" - “,
FORMAT([YourMeasure],”$###,###")
)
You’ll then need to sort the left/right alignment out in the matrix formatting.
If you need any conditional formatting you’ll need to refer to [YourMeasure] rather than [YourFormattedMeasure].
If you just want a zero in the box then try
IF(ISBLANK([YourMeasure],
0,
[YourMeasure])

Hi @BINavPete,
Hope you are well, thank you so much for your support! I did try that before, but that measure takes the matrix out of context, meaning that the date slicer dates between stop filtering the Matrix.

Try to wrap the measure in a CALCULATE function with ALLSELECTED dates
Something Like:
CALCULATE(
IF(ISBLANK([YourMeasure],
" - “,
FORMAT([YourMeasure],”$###,###")
),
ALLSELECTED([Date])
)
Where [Date] is your date from the calendar table

Hi @BINavPete,

Hi @Anurag @BINavPete ,
Sorry for the time taken, I cannot share the original .pbix, add to create a dummy!
Please find the sample dataset with the report and the data file:

Hi @Anurag ,
Thank you for your support. I already rested your solution and did not work. I’m using the visual Matrix has you using in your example. The issue is that as we MASK the empty date contact gets lost.
example V2.pbix (148.2 KB)
In attach you can find the .pbxi, I just enlarge the dates set to add 2020.

Hi,
What actually we are aiming here to achieve.
Thanks,

Hi,
The above problem arise because your data model does not contains a date table .(you forget to mark your date table as date table )
Now its showing the expected result:
Attaching pbix for your refrence:
example V2.pbix (142.1 KB)
You can visit the below link for creating your date table:
