ALLNOBLANKROW DAX Function (Filter)

Returns all the rows except blank row in a table, or all the values in a column, ignoring any filters that might have been applied.

Syntax

ALLNOBLANKROW ( <TableNameOrColumnName> [, <ColumnName> [, <ColumnName> [, … ] ] ] )
Parameter Attributes Description
TableNameOrColumnName

The name of an existing table or column.

ColumnName Optional
Repeatable

A column in the same base table. The column can be specified in optional parameters only when a column is used in the first argument, too.

Return values

Table An entire table or a table with one or more columns.

The result can include blank values if the table has blank values. The only blank that is not included in the result is the one added to the table in case of invalid relationships.

Remarks

This function removes the corresponding filters from the filter context. It does not materialize the resulting table when called directly in a filter argument of CALCULATE or CALCULATETABLE.

The only blank row that is ignored is the one added to a table in case of an invalid relationship. If the table contains blank values in columns, these values are included in the result.
