Filter 0 from One Matrix Column Only

Hi,

 

Posted this issue before but still not resolved. I've got the example PBI to help now. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/194BFC7gDw49tSzkBzqz0CJ6MUmxx7H18/view?usp=sharing)

 

I have a Matrix table with Values which appear in 3 categories (Table example below):

When displaying this data in a Matrix with Columns as Category and Values as Value it can be seen below. What I would like however, is the Matrix to filter out the 0's that appear BUT only if Category C has a 0 and not if A or B has a 0.  I guess I need some sort of measure to sort this as Advanced Filtering does not work (as filtering 0 removes all instances of 0 from values). The measure I've tried is already in the file and I also tried a calc. column with similar logic.

Any help would be appreciated.

@TotunG Perhaps something like:

Complex Selector = 
  VAR __Calculation = CALCULATE( [Measure], [Category] = "C" )
  VAR __Return = IF( __Calculation = 0, 0, 1 )
RETURN
  __Return

Then use the FILTER pane to filter the visual for when this measure equals 1.

Think that worked Greg! I definitely need to use variables more - they always help break down the issue...I tend to want to try nest everything haha.
