Conditionally hide/display expressions based on dimension(s)

I have a QlikView Pivot Table which is organized by Employees (dimension) > Activity Types (dimension) > Metrics (expressions). I need to display certain metrics for some of the Activity Types while hiding them for others. 

abeach_0-1707328949065.png

Using the example above, I need to only show Metrics A and B for Activity Type 1 while showing Metrics A, B, and C for all other Activity Types. All I've been able to do is to edit the expression logic for the metrics to calculate/not calculate based on the dimensions, but I cannot seem to hide/display them in the same way unless I filter to only that specific Activity Type where they should be hidden.

Is something like this possible in QlikView v12?

Thank you!

Try this

Metric A:

IF(ActivityType = 'Activity Type 1', YourCalculationForMetricA, YourCalculationForMetricA)

 

Metric B:

IF(ActivityType = 'Activity Type 1', YourCalculationForMetricB, YourCalculationForMetricB)

 

Metric C:

YourCalculationForMetricC

Thank for your response. Unfortunately I've tried several variations of this, and while it does prevent the calculation from being performed for the specified Activity Types, it still displays the sub-row for Metric C for Activity Type 1. I want to prevent both the calculation and the display for the specified metrics and activity types.

Try this may be 

=If(ActivityType = 'Activity Type 1', Null(), YourCalculationForMetricC)

Same issue, this only prevents the calculation for Activity Type 1 but not the display. It's almost as if the Pivot Table is trying to maintain consistency and display all 3 metrics no matter what, which is why I'm wondering if this is just a limitation of pivot tables in Qlikview.

Boa Tarde @abeach!
Tive um problema muito parecido com o seu, o que eu fiz para resolver foi criar um contêiner separado, colocar as métricas que eu queria "separar" e ali fazer a omissão.

Não sou muito bom em explicar, mas espero ajudar
