How to filter only a particular subset of data

Hello everyone. I have the following issue. I have a table containing stores and another one containing central locations. I'm merging them in Power Query using common parameters such as name, ID, municipality, and region. I need to keep them in the same table because I want to represent them on a map. I'd like a filter that allows me to choose the types of stores to display on the map (information that is present in the original store table). Currently, if I choose a store type, all the central locations are removed from the map (as they don't have a "type" field). How can I achieve this? I want to always display all the central locations but vary the displayed stores.
