Create Dynamic Table from Slicer

Hello All! I'm trying to output a list of names from a dynamic slicer.    I've attached Sample PBIX  file with 2 simple tables: "students" & "grades" joined by an [id] field. I've created a slice...

    Hi,

    Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

    One of ways to create solution is, in my opinion, to create a measure like below instead of putting in the [age] column itself to the visualization.

     

     

     

    Age measure: = 
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( students[name] ),
    MAXX (
        FILTER ( grades, [_Total Students] <> BLANK () ),
        RELATED ( students[age] )
    )
)

Awesome!  Thanks!
One more question. I actually only wanted the [name] not the [age] so i modifed the new measure

show names = 
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( students[name] ),
    MAXX (
        FILTER ( grades, [_Total Students] <> BLANK () ),
        RELATED ( students[name] )
    )
)



  my solution was to make the table visual with:
- 1 column 'students[name] &
- a filter on the visual: [show names] is not blank. 

That works fine, but is there a way to have the only column in  the table visual be the [show names] measure? 
MAXX only shows 1 name and I couldn't quite get the code right using VALUES.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

    One of ways to achieve this is using "Filters on this visual" feature in Filters section.

     

    - Select a visualization that shows all names.

    - Go to Filters section and drag the measure (Age measure:) into the Fiters on this visual area.

    - select "is not blank" from the dropdown.

    - click Apply filter.
