Hi All,
In my cube I have 2 measures which are count distinct. I created a calculation (Measure1-Measure2), when the values of Measures are equal instead of showing the difference as 0 (ZERO) , my calculation is showing it as NULL in the browser. I have tried different formats and none did not work. Please advice.
Thanks

    Hi @Amy Jandreau ,

    Are you using SSAS Tabular or SSAS Multidimensional?

    If you are using Tabular, you may try add 0 in your measure to display 0, something like Mymeasure = Mymeasure+0

    If you are using SSAS Multidimensional, you may need to use IIF to display the value you want, IIF(Measure1=Measure2, "0", Measure1=Measure2)

    Regards,

    Zoe
