Exclude 0 values from a subtotal in a Matrix

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to exclude 0 values from a column subtotal in a Matrix. Using a Report Level Filters does not seem to work in this scenario.


 

I have three measures:

  1. The first measure is summing a column based on a condition:

    EDWF. = CALCULATE(SUM('FPI & Accounts Fusion & EDWF Data'[POSTED VALUE]),'FPI & Accounts Fusion & EDWF Data'[Data Source]="EDWF"))
  2. The second measure is summing a column based on a different condition:

    Fusion. = CALCULATE(SUM('FPI & Accounts Fusion & EDWF Data'[POSTED VALUE]),'FPI & Accounts Fusion & EDWF Data'[Data Source]="Fusion"))
  3. The third measure is a simple variance calculation - it subtracts the first measure from the second:

    VAR = 'FPI & Accounts Fusion & EDWF Data'[Fusion.]-'FPI & Accounts Fusion & EDWF Data'[EDWF.])

How can I filter the matrix to only display rows where the 3rd measure does not equal 0?

    It's becuase the VAR amounts are smaller than .01, in the grid they show 0 because of the format but if you change the VAR format to something with say 5 decimal places you can see it:

     

     

    If you change your Var. measure to the following it should work better for you:

    VAR. = ROUND([EDWF]-[Fusion],2)

    Also, you don't have to (and shouldn't) put the table name in your formula when referencing a measure.  That way, when you are looking at a formula you know  'Brand Fusion & EDWF Data'[Value] is a column in a table and [EDWF] is a measure.

        Is it maybe that the visual just isn't refreshing?  I made a sample model to test and am getting the behavior you are looking for.  First image is unfiltered, second is filtered on VAR measure only.
