Dynamic(?) Filter to Find Two Values but only if those two values are not blank

[PCHMarc67]

Hi, 

I have a BI Report Matrix visual that tells me individual donor names by row and Gift appeal category (like a giving channel) for vertical rows.  I can total the number of gifts by donor by each category because I can summarize the donor ID number (which is in the source spreadsheet);  I have summarized this count either by the ID field + count or I have a measure that just counts (so the total is a dynamic value, NOT a static value in my source table)

what I don't understand how to do is to filter (via a Slicer or somehow in Dax?) so that I answer "show me all the donors (rows) that have <>blank in "Digital Philanthropy" AND <> blank in "Direct Response." (as just one example)    And I want to see just those donors that have those two, but then I want to see the distribution for that group with the rest of their appeal category totals.

so in my screenshot above, the filter/code should capture the two in red only, but show their other distributions as well (if there were any, but blank is ok to show).  I'm really looking for a slicer that I can click on instead of having to hard-code combinations because I want to explore the most likely combinations of appeal groups.  

thx for any direction here. Marc

Thanks for the reply from lbendlin.

Hi @PCHMarc67 ,

I tried to create a sample data myself based on the your requirement and implemented the result. Please check if there is anything that can be improved. Here is my solution:

Sample data is as follows:

  

1.Use the VALUES function to get two new categories for each of the two slicer fields.

  

2.Create a measure:

Measure =
VAR selectone=MAX('select1'[category])
VAR s1=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[amount]),FILTER('Table','Table'[category]=selectone))
VAR selecttwo=MAX('select2'[category])
VAR s2=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[amount]),FILTER('Table','Table'[category]=selecttwo))
RETURN
IF(NOT(ISBLANK(s1))&&NOT(ISBLANK(s2)),1,0) ​​

3.Filter the matrix using measure created.

4.The final result is as follows with the case where both are non-empty and contain other kinds of distributions :

 "show me all the donors (rows) that have <>blank in "Digital Philanthropy" AND <> blank in "Direct Response." 

at the same time? IE a donor should have data in both categories?
