Measure to show Zero giving a blank month and quarter

[quayg]

Hi there,

Primary Zeros = COUNTA('Reach and Engage All Rows'[Primary])+0

I used this measure to show the fields with zero. It works but it added a new blank month to the left of January. It also does this for years and quarters although I have filtered to remove blank dates.

Hi, @quayg 

This may be because the dates of the date column are not consecutive. It is recommended to create a calendar table containing consecutive dates and create measures based on that calendar table.

You can also hide that blank column by shortening the column width to zero(need to turn off option 'word wrap').

do you have a blank date in the table?

[quayg]

There are no blank dates. I have filtered them all out.

@quayg my question is which table you are using for the date? Do you have a separate dimension?

[quayg]

It is the same table. Just counting the rows and grouping them by month.

@quayg do have a calendar table that is connected to your transaction table, and you are using the month from the calendar table? What does your model look like?

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to help. It's counting all of the instances within a date range. I'm using the date hierarchy to group the results by month.
