Only show measure value for certain row value in Matrix

Hi All

 

I need some help with a measure I have created showing correctly for a given row value on a matrix visual. In my model I have 3 tables (Date, Reporting, and Financial). Date and Reporting are Dims and Finacial is the Fact. I have a measure called TotalExpenseAmt which is structured like this:

 

TotalExpenseAmt =
CALCULATE(SUM(Financial[Amount]),Reporting[LOSGroup] IN {"EXPENSES"})
 
One of the attributes in Reporting is LOSGroup. When I have "TOTAL EXPENSES" on the row I would like to display this measure value. Otherwise I just want to show the value for Amount. Displaying my measure shows this for all row values. How would I switch it to only show for the "TOTAL EXPENSE" row. For the highlighted value I want it to show. Also show the Detail values for Expenses such as "GP&T", "REPAIRS", etc. That's fine. But for say "CAPITAL" i want it to be blank

I have the pbix file here  SampleLOSGroup.pbix
 
This seems like a simple thing but my iterations with this measure just havent been successful right now. Appreciate any help.

@Anonymous Try this:

TotalExpenseAmt =
  VAR __LOSGroup = MAX('Reporting'[LOSGroup])
  VAR __Result = 
    IF( __LOSGroup = "TOTAL EXPENSES",
      CALCULATE(SUM('Financial[Amount']),'Reporting'[LOSGroup] IN {"EXPENSES"}),
      SUM('Financial'[Amount])
    )
RETURN
  __Result

@Greg_Deckler  I think my initial problem is that the relationship between the Reporting and Financial tables is "Both" (i.e. bi-directional). If we switch it to that you can see the issue:

If I am forced to have bi-directional between these tables how can I get that measure to work?
