Want to ignore slicer to filter my columns

I have two values in [Performance] colum (Actual and Variance) and [Reason] for Variance itself.
what i am trying to do is creating a report having color in rows, performance in column, amount in values. While i created a slicer for reason.

Color     Performance    Reason      Amount
Green    Actual               Actual       10
Green    Variance           Known       4
Green    Variance           Unknown   3

This looks like below report. but when I use the slicer for reason to select known variances it hides the Actual colum from pivot.

Color   Actual    Variance
Green   10          7

Hope i explained it well, Kindly let me know if i can use filter for varaince and ignore the selection for actual.

Color   Variance
Green   4

dont want to hide Actual column over selection

Based on your description, it seems you are using a matrix and put Performace column into a Column group. So when you select Actual reason in slicer, there's no value for Variance column group so that it will not be displayed in matrix. 

 

To keep the Performance column, I suggest you use a table instead of matrix to render your data.
