Sub Total calculation Help

Hi All,

 

Please help for the below requirement for matrix Viz. I have the below Main Matrix table.. The user wants the MAIN TOTAL value to be only the sum of values where FundCert value is blank.. in this below example 39678 and hide the Fundcert values displayed in FundCert level. 

 

to summarize...39678  should be the MAIN TOTAL and blank values  and its total  for FundCert Columns should be hidden. Is this possible?. Please help. sample PBIX is shared in the below location

@ak77 try this measure:

 

Sum Value = SUM ( Sheet1[Values] )

Sum for Display = 
 SWITCH ( 
    TRUE (),
    HASONEVALUE ( Sheet1[Classification] ), CALCULATE ( [Sum Value], KEEPFILTERS ( NOT ISBLANK ( Sheet1[Fund Cert] ) ) ),
    CALCULATE ( [Sum Value], ISBLANK ( Sheet1[Classification] ) )
    
)

@ak77 the reason it is not working, value in the columns is not blank it is a string with no value, these are two different things:

 

here is the updated measure:

 

Sum Value 1 for Display = 
 SWITCH ( 
    TRUE (),
    HASONEVALUE ( Earningssample[Category_Classification] ), CALCULATE ( [Sum Value1], KEEPFILTERS ( COALESCE ( Earningssample[Category], "" ) <> "" ) ),
    CALCULATE ( [Sum Value1], COALESCE ( Earningssample[Category], "" ) = "" ) 
   )

Sum Value1 = SUM ( Earningssample[Value1])
 
Sum Value1 for Display =
 SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
