# CostCategoryValues


The Cost Categories values used for filtering the costs.

If `Values` and `Key` are not specified, the `ABSENT` `MatchOption` is applied to all Cost Categories. That is, it filters on resources that aren't mapped to any Cost Categories.

If `Values` is provided and `Key` isn't specified, the `ABSENT` `MatchOption` is applied to the Cost Categories `Key` only. That is, it filters on resources without the given Cost Categories key.
