Solved: Re: Count blanks in two different measures

Anonymous · ‎02-09-2022

Hi All,

I've searched and don't think this has been answered before. I have 2 new measures that use 'countblank' to identify how many blanks there are in each. I'm now trying to create one that counts the rows that have blanks in both of the measures - please could someone help?

Example is: Measure 1 - no predecessors (done); Measure 2 - no successors (done); Measure 3 - both are blank (it's this one I'm struggling with)

Thanks,

Martin

@Anonymous , You can create a column with below code and then take a sum of new column:-

Column =
IF ( ISBLANK ( COALESCE ( 'Table'[Pred], 'Table'[Succ] ) ), 1, 0 )

Output:-

Thanks for replying - here is an example:

I have 'countblank' for predecessors (there are 5) and 'countblank' for successors (there are 7), what I'm trying to get is - how many have blank in both the predecessors and successors columns (there are 3). Does that help?
