Found the solution - 
MeasureColumn = 
IF( HASONEVALUE(table[columnName]),

SELECTEDVALUE(table[columnName]),

Blank() )

 

Using above DAX Created 3 measure column for Code, Channel and date and it will show blank  in total row

This will also show a value in total if you filter down to a single item, using isinscope the total will remain blank in that edge case

If(Isinscope( table[name] ),[Code])

 

Will return code if filtered by code, will return blank for total

Tried the same logic for Code is regular column, its not allowing to use Code in second parameter in 'ISINSCOPE'

 

If you are using a implicit measure in the matrix for code, then you have to slightly update

 

If(Isinscope( table[name] ),selectedvalue(table[Code]))
