Filtering - Overall numbers changing

Hello

 

This has been bugging me for a while and I wonder if somebody could help.

 

I need to filter departments out that are below 10 as I don't want that data to be seen.

However, by filtering these departments out, it effects the overall totals by taking the numbers out of the top total.

 

Example below

 

Directorate:   Marketing - Headcount 50

  Sub department 1 - Headcount 20

  Sub department 2 - Headcount 20

  Sud department 3 - Headcount 5

  Sub department 4 - Headcount 5

 

When I filter out those departments under 10, it takes away correctly departments 3 & 4 but brings the overall total down to 40 and I want it to stay at 50

 

This is just one example of the departmental level problem I have.

 

Any help anybody could give would be great

Thanks

Richard

That seems to be a standard application of ALLSEELCTED.  What have you tried and where are you stuck?
