Filter does not work properly (blank case)
You can see that there are some rows with blank although filter only 0%.
At he beginning, I thought it was DAX measure thing but it works fine on 'Table View' (filter 0% there will be no index 319824)
Fortunately, I found that it this will work if use this setting.
Am I missing something here ?

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.

What @speedramps mentioned would be this
Implicit Conversion: Power BI may perform implicit conversions behind the scenes. For example, if you have a column with a mix of numbers and blanks, Power BI might internally convert the blanks to zeros when filtering for zero.

Oh, I didn't expect this implication.
Filtering of when you give 0 apple also include a case when you don't have apple !
The checkbox is not check though.
However, seems you are right since changing from 0 to 0.1 no longer include blank.

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.
