The IsBlank DAX Function in Power BI: A Guide

    

What is the IsBlank Function?

                The IsBlank function is a DAX function in Power BI that checks whether a given value is blank or not. It returns a Boolean value - TRUE if the value is blank, and FALSE if it's not.    
   

                 The IsBlank DAX function in Power BI is a simple yet powerful tool that allows users to identify empty or null values in their data. In this blog post, we will explore the IsBlank function and its usage in Power BI.

                First, let's define what IsBlank does. The IsBlank function returns TRUE if a given value is empty or null. If the value is not empty, it returns FALSE. This function is useful for filtering data or creating calculated columns based on empty values.

                To use the IsBlank function in Power BI, we must first have a table or column of data that we want to evaluate. For example, let's say we have a table called Sales, and we want to create a calculated column that shows whether the product name is blank or not. 

                The syntax for the IsBlank function is:
                            IsBlank(value)

 How it is used in Data Analytics/Data Science?

            Checking for Missing Values

One of the most common uses of the IsBlank function is to check for missing values in your data. For example, if you have a table of customer orders and some orders don't have a value for the "customer name" field, you can use the IsBlank function to identify those missing values.


                         In this video we have discussed about the ISBLANK Function with Example along with IF condition for ISBLANK DAX function.
