How to leave out one field when whole matrix is filtered?

Hello

 

I have a list or orders that contains vendor no's and qty or orders from each. My matrix is filtered that it calculated only purchases that contain items, leaving out purchases that are in G/L accounts. However, we have one vendor which should be in this list even if ALL of purchases are in G/L accounts, not items. 

 

I have filtered my matrix so that it leaves out purchases which have item category = empty

 

How can I have this one vendor to be visible in my list, so that my filtering wouldn't apply to this certain vendor?

probably needs dummy item lines.

Hi

 

 I think this could be solved with Replacer.ReplaceText and Table.ReplaceValue functions but can't seem to get them right. Appreciate the help. End result should be: if vender number is 50772 then Item Category is "X"

I thought you wanted to display vendor 50772 regardless of what item category is selected/filtered?

I want to display vendors which have item category, with the exception if vendor 50772 which doesn't have item category. So I was thinking to use replace function to replace empty field(s) with X.

Do you plan to use a category slicer?  Will your users know to always select "X"  on that slicer?

Yes, this report is based on purchase invoice lines. The whole report page is filtered that only lines with item categories are visible. This is the way to leave out for example phone bills etc and show only purchases of items. The exception is vendor 50772 and it doesn't matter which item category it has, until it is something else as empty. If this vendor has item category "X" and I will choose this, then all purchases will be visible for this vendor
