    Hi Maru 

    Try to create a flag measure like 
    if isblank([filloutbound] || [filloutbound] = "", 1,0)
    and filter your visual by this flag.

    ** [filloutbound] should be a measure.

    You need to grasp the difference between zero and blank.

    If I have 2 apples and I give you 2 apples then my outbound = 100%

    If I have 2 apples and give you 1 then my outbound = 50%

    If I have 2 apples and give you none then my outbound = 0%

    If I have 1 apple and give you 1 then my outbound = 100%

    If I have 1 apple and give you none then my outbound = 0%

    If I have no apples then my outbound is blank  because I have nothing to give !

    It is basic maths but many BI novices stuggle with this simple concept of zero vs blanks.
