filtering data based on multiple conditions in another column

I'd like for my Power BI report to only consider batches and related output where the process was complete.  In this case, it means Process Numbers 1 and 3 are preseent.  There are various reasons why it might not be complete, but for reporting purposes I only want to consider batches where process number 1 and 3 are present.

 

Here is a sample of the data.  In this example, I'd like for Power BI to only consider B100 since Process_No 1 and 3 are present.

 

 

I don't quite know where to start with this, so any tips on this are very much appreciated.

    Hi formerlyknownas ,

     

    Please use the following formula to create a measure:

     

    Measure =
VAR _str =
    CONCATENATEX (
        CALCULATETABLE (
            VALUES ( 'Table'[Process_No] ),
            ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Batch] )
        ),
        'Table'[Process_No],
        ","
    )
RETURN
    IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( _str, "1" ) && CONTAINSSTRING ( _str, "3" ), 1, 0 )

     

    And then apply it to filter pane like this:

    Here is the pbix file.

    formerlyknownas , Try a measure like

     

    measure =
    var _tab = filter(summarize(filter(Table, Table[Process_No] in {1,3}, Table[Batch]), "_1", distinctCOUNT(Table[Process_No])),[_1]>=2)
    return
    calculate(sum(Table[output]), filter(Table, Table[Batch] in _tab))

     

    or

     

    sumx(filter(summarize(filter(Table, Table[Process_No] in {1,3}, Table[Batch]), "_1", distinctCOUNT(Table[Process_No]), "_2",sum(Table[Outpur])),[_1]>=2),[_2])

    Thanks amitchandak - I'm not quite following your suggestions as they seem to to sum output, which is something I don't need to do.  What I'd like to ultimately be able to do is have a list of the relevant, fully complete batches and reference the numbers like output and so on in my graphs.  In case it's helpful, I think I may have over simplified my data sample, as there are in fact steps 1-6 and I just need to ensure 1 and 6 are present.

      Use above measures of this measure with Batch. Mesure will filter Batch

       

      countx(filter(summarize(filter(Table, Table[Process_No] in {1,3}), Table[Batch], "_1", distinctCOUNT(Table[Process_No])),[_1]>=2),[Batch])

       

      The above measures can also be used, I closed parenthesis at the wrong place

      sumx(filter(summarize(filter(Table, Table[Process_No] in {1,3}), Table[Batch], "_1", distinctCOUNT(Table[Process_No]), "_2",sum(Table[Outpur])),[_1]>=2),[_2])

       

      I am creating a filter table with 1,3, Counting distinct and checking that is should >= 2 to filter batches that do not have both
