Filtering on a Matrix

Hi,

 This may be a simple solutuion, I dont use Power BI much. I'll include a sample of the issue. In a matrix, is there any way to only show rows if it has certain criteria? 

Here is the underlying data

Here is the matrix:

I want to only show the highlighted ones because it has both alt and reg. 

Thanks in advance.

Ah, I see... But always up for a challenge. Try this as a filter:

FILTER 2 =
IF (
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Payment Type] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Claim #] )
    ) = 2,
    1,
    IF ( MAX ( 'Table'[Payment Type] ) = "ALT", 1 )
)

Here is one way. Create an unrelated table using:

 

Reference table = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Claim #],'Table'[Payment Type])

refernce table.jpg

 

 

Create a measure to use as a filter in the visual:

 

Filter =
VAR _ALT =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Reference table'[Claim #] ),
        FILTER ( 'Reference table', 'Reference table'[Payment Type] = "ALT" )
    )
VAR _ALL =
    VALUES ( 'Table'[Claim #] )
RETURN
    COUNTROWS ( INTERSECT ( _ALT, _ALL ) )

 

Cretae the visual and add the [Filter] measure to the filter pane for the visual and set the value to 1

Thank you for your help @PaulDBrown . Unfortunately, I cant create a new table because its connected to a live database. I appreciate your time!

@tangerinemdr15 , Try a measure like

Sumx(filter(summarize(Table, Table[Claim#], "_sum", sum(Table[Amount]) , "_cnt", calculate(DistinctCount(Table[Payment Type]), filter(Table, Table[Payment Type] in {"REG","ALT"} ))),[_cnt] =2), [_sum])

@amitchandak Thank you so much! that was perfect! I realized, though, that I needed to modify my question. what would be the measure for this result? I would like to see only those with ALT and Reg or only ALT.  Sorry!
