Filter Dax rows with list

[Felipepbiplis]

how to filter rows from a table type

1

2

3

4

 using a list column type

1,2,3,4

 in another table using dax functions?

ex: select value 1,3 in list and show 

1

3 

in table rows

The tables do not have any data relationship and all data is text type.

@Felipepbiplis  As you mentioned there is no relation between table , A Nice way to solve this these using relationships with bridge table introduced between them and use that to get best out of the Power BI Modelling 

However Alternately  you can create measure to pass one selected value from one visual to other and use that to apply filters on the other in Filters pane or play bit with visual interactions

Here is DAX which can help you
1. Selected Value = SELECTEDVALUE(TAble1[Profiles],"No filter")
2. If filtered =

Var Filteredvalue =

If(CONTAINSSTRING([Selected Value],SELECTEDVALUE(Table2[Ruler]) ),1,0)

Return

Filteredvalue

Result will be something like below , Note that if i choose rick the IFfiltered measure becomes 1 for only those Rows in Table 2 , The you can use If filtered = 1 in your filter pane visual if you like 

But I believe changing your model can you give much better and clean results !

@Felipepbiplis  I tried to understand what you posted , Correct me if i am wrong

I am assuming you already expanded your original list in to rows 

if not then do expand it in Power Query  as below 

Then use the simple Filter using DAX to create a new Table 

Filtered table = FILTER( 'Table containing List',

                         'Table containing List'[Original List] = "1"

                           || 'Table containing List'[Original List] = "3")

Also replace "Table containing list" with the name of your original table , and replace column "Original List" with the name of that column.

Hope it Helps

Okay, I'll try to explain better.

There are two datatables in the power bi and
the tables have no relationship and all data is text type, tables below:
table1

Names	Profiles
Adrian	ABC
Rick	ABC,XYZ
Jhon	ABC,XYZ,UVZ
Mike	ABC,XYZ

table2

Ruler	Valor1	Valor2
ABC	1a	3c
XYZ	2b	3b
UVZ	1a	2d

I'm going to place the two tables in a common table visual on the dashboard.
When I click on a name in the table 1 visual, I want table2 to filter and show the filtered profiles rule corresponding to the name that was clicked.

example:

If I click on Rick in table1

table2 will look like this

Ruler	Valor1	Valor2
ABC	1a	3c
XYZ	2b	3b

thanks!
