Avoiding displaying duplicate values for parent child items in a matrix

I have a dataset that includes goals and multiple options for each goal. Each goal has a target value and each option has an estimate. There is a one to many relationship between goal and option. Trying to figure out how not to repeat the 'Goal Target' for each Option in the simplified matrix below. Basically I want the opposite of Don't Show Subtotals, where I show the Subtotal of 'Goal Target' for each Goal but don't show the lime item for each Option. Putting this under DAX but would welcome data model or visual option solutions.

Hi @tnwcloud 

Please try the following measure:

Goal Target = 
IF(
    NOT(HASONEVALUE('Options'[OptionID])),
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Goals'[Target]),
        CROSSFILTER('Goals'[GoalID], 'Options'[GoalID], Both)
    ),
    BLANK()
)


Result:
