How to Hide rows in Matrix Chart using Parent Child Hierarchy

Hi Experts, I have read and tried many different ways to implement below, but just can't get it right. I may very well be missing something obvious

 

Desired Result: in Matrix Chart, for rows, only show selected level together the levels under this selected level, but not showing rows above this selected level. 

 

What has tried:

 1. build a table: Entity Name List using Dax from table: Entity; Table Entity Name List has no relationship with Table Entity.

          Using EntityKey as slicer for selecting specific Entity, which will show in Matrix Chart. 

 2. build a measure: Total forSelectedEntity

 3. Creat Matrix Chart as below, the measure is showing fine for the selected entity, but the rows starting from level1. 

 

The expected Chart should be as below:

 Appreciated any help/suggestions.

    HI Anonymous,

    It sounds like you want to achieve custom filter effects on the matrix based on slicer selections, right? In my opinion, I think the default filter effect is not suitable for your reuqrement.

    For this scenario, you can try to create an unconnected table as the source of the slicer then write a measure express to achieve your requirement and apply it to the matrix visual level filter.

    If you are confused about the coding formula, can you please share a pbix or some dummy data that keep raw data structure with expected results? It should help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.

    Anonymous , thank you so much for helping. 

    I do have a sample file in my local laptop folder, but not able to attach. I have replied the email from Power BI Community Administrator <[email protected]> and attached the file. if this email address does not work for you, is there any other email which I can use ?

    Please let me know if you have any question on this sample file.

     

    I did use an unconnected table as the source of the slicer (Table: Entity Name List). 

    As shown in mine post, the challenge is to how to hide the level1 and level2' s name in the row header ( the measure for level1 and level2 are blank, this is fine).

     

    Again, Appreciated your help.
