Measures Count Blanks and Interaction Table Visual

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I am making a visual related to data quality. I have multiple measurs that count how often a certain value is empty. These measures are calculated as follows:

Empty_column_name = COUNTBLANK('column_name')

I have multiple of these measures which I display in a donut chart. Below  that chart I have a table with different id numbers and some other details. What i want is to be able to click on the variable with for example 10 empty values and then see in the below table which records this considers. However, I cannot get this to interact properly... Any suggestions?

Even if incorporate the measure in the table (as I read in another post here) this does not help as i use multiple measures counting blank values. Any one has a suggestions on how to solve this? I am also open to approach this differently. The purpose is to see which colums/variables contain a lot of empty values and then by clicking on that part of the graph to see which records exactly this concerns so this can be checked.  I also thought about creating calculated columns instead but also this does not work. The only thing that does seem to work if i put the whole column in a grahp and then filter the visuals on empty. However this i can only do if the column at this moment contains empty values and does not work when i want combine multiple colums with each different emty rows.

Really curious what I am missing/doing wrong here. Also do not quite understand why it does not work even if i drag the measures in the table.. Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Is this the problem you encountered?
According to statistics, ID 1 has 10 blank records, but only 1 row is displayed in the table visual.

If yes, please add an index column in 'Edit Query'.

If not, please post your sample data.

Hi,

Not exactly, what I mean is  the following:

Here the donut chart displays three measures calculated as "Variable 2 empty = COUNTBLANK(Sheet1[Variable 2])".

I want to then check what are the ids of these 4 records who have a blank field on variable 2. So I want click on that part of the donut chart and then in the table below only see the 4 ids for which variable 2 is empty.  Likewise for the other measures if selected in the donut chart.

Adding the measure itself to the table does not solve the issues as there are different "empty" measures I am using.

Sample Data:

ID	Variable 2	Variable 3	Variable 4
1123	aa	x
4135		x	78
1334	bb		36
4562		y	87
4567		x
8901		y

Thanks all for trying to help.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please do like this.

1. Replace the 'null' value with '0' in 'Edit Query'.

2. Unpivot columns 'Variable2', 'Variable3', 'Variable4'.

3.Create a measure.

Please refer to my .pbix file.

Note: There must be an ‘Attribute’ column in the table visual, otherwise the interaction between the two visuals can not be completed.
