Hi, Sujit

You can do this in two ways:

• In query-editor (follow the steps below)

1) In your power bi desktop, click on edit queries.

2) Select column right-clicks on it.

3) Choose to replace the value.

4) Enter "null" in find value in "replace value enter "0"

5) Close and apply

*You should see "0" wherever you have nulls in that column.

• Using​ the new calculated measure​

Create a new measure using the following code ​:

Column = IF(ISBLANK(**original column**),0,**original column**)

**original column** - your name for the column you are using.

Then change the value to the new column and it should work.

Hi Gitika,

I'm trying same way to replace blanks in Matrix but this way is not working. Could you (or anyone who can) please help if have another solution for this

I'm writing DAX as below:

Distinct IDs=

var dist_id = DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[ID)

return

IF(ISBLANK(dist_id),"0",dist_id)

Some of the blanks are getting replaced however, some are still there.

Hey, @There,

Have you tried both the way shown above?

We can remove (Blank) by applying the Visual Level Filtering on the Slicer. Power BI didn't allow us to apply Visual Level Filtering earlier which was a major drawback. In June 2019, Microsoft released an update in which we can apply the Visual Level Filtering on the slicers as well.

so you are using the raw source data, is it correct?

So its easy to you just make new column with this code

Column = IF(ISBLANK(**original column**),0,**original column**)

**original column** - your name for the column you are using.

Then change the value to the new column and it should work
