What is the ALLNOBLANKROW function in DAX?

The ALLNOBLANKROW function is a DAX function that returns all the rows in a table except for the blank row. It is a useful function when you want to perform calculations or comparisons on a set of data that does not include any blank rows.

The ❰table❱ argument is the name of the table that you want to filter.

How to use the ALLNOBLANKROW function in Power BI

To use the ALLNOBLANKROW function in Power BI, you first need to create a new measure. A measure is a calculation that is based on the values in a column or columns of data.

To create a new measure, follow these steps:

1. Open your Power BI report and select the table that contains the data you want to use.

2. Click on the “New Measure” button in the “Modeling” tab of the ribbon.

3. In the “Formula Bar”, enter the formula for your measure. In this case, we want to use the ALLNOBLANKROW function to filter out any blank rows in our data. Here is an example formula:


FilteredData = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Amount]), ALLNOBLANKROW(Sales))


In this example formula, we are using the CALCULATE function to sum the values in the Sales[Amount] column. The ALLNOBLANKROW function is used to filter out any blank rows in the Sales table.

4. Click “Enter” to create the new measure. You will now see the measure appear in the “Fields” pane under the table that contains the data.

Once you have created your measure, you can use it in your visualizations and dashboards just like any other field in your data.
