We have to deal a lot with data confidentiality. At the moment I can do primary suppression using this formula in DAX:
Patient Counts =
IF (
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Patient[counter] ) ) < 5 && SUM ( Patient[counter] ) > 0,
"< 5",
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Patient[counter] ) )
)
That works great if there are no totals or sub-totals in the table. However, we do want to include totals for our clients. The problem is if I've suppressed a value in the table of 4, the remaining value is 6 and the total is 10, somebody could quickly work out that the "< 5" value is 4. Therefore, I need to use what we call "secondary suppression" to suppress the 6.
Thank you for your time.

Hi @Axit,
You can try to add condition on category column to ignore calculate on total level.
Sample measure:
Patient Counts = IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Patient[Category Column] ), IF ( SUM ( Patient[counter] ) < 5 && SUM ( Patient[counter] ) > 0, "< 5", SUM ( Patient[counter] ) ) )
Notice: Replace bold part with your category column name.

Thanks @v-shex-msft this works and stops the calculation for total. Is it at all possible to keep totals where there is no suppression in a row?
Hi @Axit,
So you means you want to prevent subtotal level and keep total level displayed?
Maybe you can try to use below measure:
Patient Counts = IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Patient[Category Column] ) || COUNTROWS ( Patient ) = COUNTROWS ( ALLSELECTED ( Patient ) ), IF ( SUM ( Patient[counter] ) < 5 && SUM ( Patient[counter] ) > 0, "< 5", SUM ( Patient[counter] ) ) )
