Using NOT ISBLANK as a filter

[SJ25]

This should be quite simple, as I've done this before and it has worked very well. I'm trying to count rows that aren't blank and then there's the syntax I'm using:

CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('TableName'),FILTER('TableName', NOT(ISBLANK('Tablename'[Sales Order]))))))

But this gives me a count of all the rows, why doesn't this work?

It gives me the correct value when I use <> BLANK but what's wrong with the above method?

HI @SJ25,

Please check your table records to confirm if your field type changes or new values existed in your records. (empty, null, blank, "" or specific characters)
In addition, I think it will help if you share some dummy data to test.

@SJ25 ,

Check if you column has some space trim those

and then try CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('TableName'),FILTER('TableName', NOT(ISBLANK('Tablename'[Sales Order]) && 'Tablename'[Sales Order] <> "" )))))

I tried it and it worked as expected. Can you please check the syntax? Looks like something off.

@SJ25 depends on what is the data type of the column on which you are checking BLANK(), read more on this here

Hi,

This simplified measure should work

=COUNTROWS(FILTER('TableName',VALUES('Tablename'[Sales Order])<>BLANK()))
