Differences between two tables

Imagine the below with a direct relationship between the two tables...

 

Table 1 Table 2 Slicer
Owner Owner Owner
Name A Name A Name A
Name B Name B Name B
Name C Name C (North West) Name D
Name D Name C (North East) Name E
Name E Name D  
  Name E  

Table 1 holds information relating to Accounts, Table 2 is essentially a lookup/bridging table that references the rest of the tables in the report and is pretty much essential. The Accounts table holds no other information in it that an inactive relationship could be created on. When adding a slicer to the report using the fields in Table 2 (which is how I need to slice), then obviously Name C isn't appearing.

 

I'm trying to think of an obvious way to get those output in the slicer. Any suggestions of help?

Hi @Tob_P ,

 

Is that you create a relationship like the following image?

If you do like this and the slicer will contain "Name C".
