BLANK() in DAX

Hello,

 

I need to feed this logic into a measure.

 

A B C Is Exclude
blank blank blank yes
blank blank 0 yes
blank 0 blank yes
blank 0 0 yes
0 blank blank yes
0 blank 0 yes
0 0 blank yes
0 0 0 yes

 

E.g. if I feed the above in a measure it would look like below.

 

 

 

Exclude1 := SWITCH(TRUE(), 
                         [A]=BLANK()&&[B]=BLANK()&&[C]=BLANK(),"Exclude",
                         [A]=BLANK()&&[B]=BLANK()&&[C]=0,"Exclude",
                         ..............................................
                         ..............................................
                         [A]=0&&[B]=0&&[C]=0,"Exclude",
                        "Include")

 

 

 

Is it safe to assume that the measure below will produce exactly the same result as the one above

 

 

 

Exclude2 := SWITCH(TRUE(), 
                         [A]=BLANK()&&[B]=BLANK()&&[C]=BLANK(),"Exclude",
                         "Include")

 

 

 

I once read in one of Zubair's post @Zubair_Muhammad that DAX treats BLANK() as zero. If that is the case, can Exclude1 be optimized as Exclude2?

 

Thank you in advance.

@smpa01 , March 2020 release support coalesce , you can do like

 

Switch(True()
coalesce([A],0) =0 && coalesce([B],0)=0 && coalesce([C],0) =0 , "Exclude",
"Include")
