Develop existing Filter Code

Happy New Year All, I have the below code that searches and filters a table column based on the selected value of another table and it works great, but need to develop it with more functionallity.

 

TEST_Search_SelectValue =
COUNTX (
FILTER ('Key Words', SEARCH ( [Value], SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Carrier Matrix'[OData__2_Contractcomments] ), 1, 0 ) > 0
),
1
)

 

Currently if there is no selected value, everything is filtered and the Carrier Matrix table visual is empty.  Is there a way so that if there is no selected value, no filter is applied and all rows in the "Carrier Matrix" table are displayed. I have tried something like...

 

TEST_Search_SelectValue =
IF(COUNTROWS('Key Words')=1, COUNTX(FILTER('Key Words', SEARCH ( [Value], SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Carrier Matrix'[OData__2_Contractcomments] ), 1, 0 ) > 0
),
1
))
 
and this filters if a Selected Value is present, but still displays an empty table if there no SelectedValue.  How can I fix this?  
Thanks in advance

Got it working with...

 

TEST_Search_SelectValue =
IF (
COUNTROWS ( 'Key Words' ) = 1,
COUNTX (
FILTER (
'Key Words',
SEARCH (
[Value],
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Carrier Matrix'[OData__2_Contractcomments] ), 1, 0 ) > 0 || SEARCH ([Value],SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Carrier Matrix'[OData__8_Generalcomments] ), 1, 0 ) > 0
),
1
),

@StuartSmith , Did not get it completely, You can use isfiltered to check if the value is filtered

ok, Got it working where it displays the full table, unless a button is pressed and then displays only the button related data.

Just need to add an "OR" statement so it searchs 2 columns for the results, but stumped on that for the moment.

Got it working with...

 

TEST_Search_SelectValue =
IF (
COUNTROWS ( 'Key Words' ) = 1,
COUNTX (
FILTER (
'Key Words',
SEARCH (
[Value],
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Carrier Matrix'[OData__2_Contractcomments] ), 1, 0 ) > 0 || SEARCH ([Value],SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Carrier Matrix'[OData__8_Generalcomments] ), 1, 0 ) > 0
),
1
),
""
