    Creating PivotTable add data to data model and instead of direct aggregation (sum) use measures like

    Paid Interest:=
VAR total=SUM(Home_Loan[Interest Paid])
VAR Result=IF(total=0,BLANK(),total)
RETURN Result

    Result will be like

    As a source I took the table to the left. As a comment, please don't add totals manually, Table support total row you may switch on/off and use the same formulas. Otherwise that could be side effect.

Craig Hatmaker , SergeiBaklan Thanks. 

Tried the copy+paste instead of Drag, it worked. Worked with SUMIFS too.

Now, I wanted to present the data in graphs using PIVOT. One issue is with the zero value cells. As the number of years i.e, the tenure of the loan is a variable quantity, I want the graph to adapt to it. Basically no zero values in the graph. As you can see a steep fall, is unwanted. The years in the X-axis should be as per the loan tenure. If I change it to 10, the X-axis should reflect the same. How should I do this?
