Help Filtering Country table countries by continent

I have a table name 'Countries', in this table are two columns 'Country' and 'Continent'. 

 

I want to create a measure which filters these countries for the continents Europe and Africa. 

 

I am relatively new to DAX, and normally i only filter with aggregate functions, cant seem to find a way to do it for text only columns. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

  • edcdcpowerbi , Create the measure below and use that with the country in visual

     

    countrows(filter(Table, Table[Continent] in { "Europe" , "Africa"}))

      Hi, thanks for helping. Is there a way this can be done in a single measure rather than having to add countries to a visual with this measure? I am hoping to have a single measure with lists all the filtered countries.
