The current card visual forces users to overlap elements or waste copious amounts of time creating custom visuals. The new card feature should give users the ability to create multiple cards in a single container and provide a greater level of customization.

I've managed to use the workaround, but I think this is quite an important feature missing from Power BI even though it is available in Pivot Charts in Excel's PowerPivot.

The exact functionality I'm looking for is on the Pivot Chart "Select Data..." option, under "Hidden and Empty Cells".

Very useful for plotting time series against a large date dimension, where some measures are blank for certain time periods!

I agree that this should be an option for ease of use.

A workaround I have found when creating measures is to wrap in an IF statement testing for BLANK () and then using the IF statement to assign the value I want.

RE: Epic idea: New card visual

can't you just replace all instances of blank with " " or does that not work

It would be nice to be able to turn this on or off (probly default to off)...

It is really frustrating, does anybody reads this? Any idea why it started to appear there while in Desktop Designer it works just fine? When is it going to be fixed?

I agree 100%. We have a table that looks terrible because it has "(blank)" showing up all over the place. In fact, it doesn't look good anywhere. It makes it very difficult to read. Put it back the way it was.

Or give us the ability to turn it off/on within the visualization.
