Hi i am working on a dashboard in which i am trying to implement a kpi visual for current period vs previous period values.
Returning a value instead of blank means that in a visual with an axis table matrix column bar charts etc if for a combination there is no data still the visual will show that with zero as a result.
It works great when there are items matching but if nothing matches it shows blank.
I have come across a strange behaviour of the kpi visual that i seem not be able to solve.
Here is an example.

A good way to visualize this scenario is to add the kpi measure and goal to a table with the same filters as the kpi visual.
The steps and illustrations in this article are from power bi desktop.
I ve got a card visual which is just showing a count of how many items match my filter.
One of them calculates some percentage the other one just uses a simple formular to calculate a fixed target.
The kpi measure will display blank when it evaluates to blank and the kpi goal is not blank.
My dashboard showed blank as the value in a card visualization when i really wanted to see 0.

To start click the kpi icon on the visualizations pane.
It s now time to fill the visual with information.
If it can t find any occurrences it returns blank resulting in the kpi picture at the top.
Is there a best practice to deal with this or a simple way to adjust this.

This does not seem to be a data type issue.
Here is my current solution.
Value 0 97 0 97.
A key performance indicator kpi is a visual cue that communicates the amount of progress made toward a measurable goal.
The measure that is being displayed in the kpi is a monthly average of several of the distinctcount measures displayed on the right.
