Power BI - How to view zeros in the matrix table visual

I'm currently building a report in Power BI. I added a matrix table along with its data. The matrix table just consist of sums per column (shown below).

enter image description here

There are multiple of slicers I have for the report. The problem is when I start filtering, the data disappears from the matrix. Instead of disappearing, I want it those values to be zero.

I have already used the measure: IF(ISBLANK(SUM(COUNT)), 0, SUM(COUNT) And it still did not work (shown below). What should I do so that the zeroes would appear on the matrix table?

There are two things you need for this approach to work

  1. You need your Categories in a separate table to the rest of your data (joined by category ID) - if you don't have an ID, you can get away with Category name). You can build this table in DAX with something like CategoryTable = DISTINCT(MyData[CategoryName]). This new table and your data table need to be linked with a relationship. On your visual, use the Category from the Categories table and the measure you have created.

  2. Make sure "Show items with no data" is checked on the matrix's fields. enter image description here
