Filter on a dimension with a fact that don't depend on that dimension

Question

Hi experts,
I have a logical column (fact1) that it is set as total for logical level for one dimension (dim1). (it doesn't depend on that dimension but i have to put it in a report next to that dimension).
If I don't filter the report the result is:
dim1 dim2 fact1
a x 1
a y 2
b z 3
b w 4
If I filter the dim1 on 'a' then the result is:
dim1 dim2 fact1
a x 1
a y 2
null z 3
null w 4
I don't want to see those 2 lines with null...
How can I achive that...
Thank you in advance...
Best regards
