    Not sure if this will work but give it a try.  You are using 
    RETURN Result

    There is a trick with DIVIDE where, when you divide by 0 it returns a null instead of a 0 so you can use

    Return DIVIDE(Result,Result) * Result

    null * 0 is null

    The whole measure would look like this.

    Actual = Var Calctype = SELECTEDVALUE('Header Assignment'[CalcType])
                Var Displaydetailcode = SELECTEDVALUE('Header Assignment'[Detail])
                Var IsSubheaderVisible = ISFILTERED('Accounts Name2'[Account Name])
                Var IsBracketVisible = ISFILTERED(Bracket[Bracket])
                Var IsPeriodVisible = ISFILTERED('Date Table'[Year Month])
                Var Result = SWITCH(TRUE(),
                    isSubheaderVisible=True() && DisplayDetailCode = 0  ,BLANK(),
                    isSubheaderVisible=True() && IsBracketVisible =TRUE() && DisplayDetailCode = 0  ,BLANK(),
                    IsBracketVisible =TRUE() && DisplayDetailCode = 0  ,BLANK(),
                        Calctype = 1, [SUM AMOUNT],
                        Calctype = 2, [Running Total A],
                        Calctype = 3, DIVIDE([Running Total A],[Rev amount 2],0)
                    )
                Return DIVIDE(Result,Result) * Result
