Hide/show section based on presence value in repeating row

Hi all,

New to InfoPath but loving it so far. In general, it is quite easy to achieve the interactivity you want in a form, but for some reason I just can't get the following scenario to work properly. Fairly sure it I am overlooking something obvious so any assistance/guidance is highly appreciated!

I have an Optional Section which only should be visible if a specific value is present in another (repeating) table. Schematic of that table:

Column A	Column B	Column C
Text 1	Text 2	A
		B
		~Add row(ColumnC)
Text 3	Text 4	C
		A
		~Add row(ColumnC)

~Add row(ColumnA-C)

So it is a repeatable table, containing one additional repeatable row. I want the optional section to be hidden unless a specific value is present in Column C which is in a drop down list (for sake of this post: value A is required). The other away around is easy enough.

If I use the following condition "Condition: Column C is equal to A, Rule type: Formatting, [/] Hide this control" the section is perfectly well hidden when A is the value.

But I want the section to be visible if A is selected anywhere in Colum C....! If I change the condition to "Column C is not equal to A" it works, but only if A is the only value in Colum C. But as you can see, I can have both A and B/C/D in there.

What am I doing wrong? :)
