IGNORE DAX Function (Table manipulation)

Tags a measure expression specified in the call to SUMMARIZECOLUMNS function to be ignored when determining the non-blank rows.

Syntax

IGNORE ( <Measure_Expression> )
Parameter Attributes Description
Measure_Expression

The Expression which needs to be ignored for the purposes of determining non-blank rows.

Return values

This function does not return a value.

Remarks

The IGNORE() syntax can be used to modify the behavior of the SUMMARIZECOLUMNS function by omitting specific expressions from the BLANK/NULL evaluation. Rows for which all expressions not using IGNORE return BLANK/NULL will be excluded independent of whether the expressions which do use IGNORE evaluate to BLANK/NULL or not.
