    I was able to solve my own problem with this workaround:

IF(
    ISINSCOPE('Sheet Name'[Category]),
    MAX('Sheet Name'[ProjectA]),  
    BLANK()
)

    Now if the visual only contains these measures as the Values it will show as blank if collapsed or start 'deleting' the parents out without a way to add back due to not technically being in scope.

    To solve this I added an Index column, changed Visual setting: Specific Column: Index -> Set text color to white and background color to white. Then to handle the column header I copied the invisible character from this website: https://blanktext.net/
