Measure with table variable to filter table visual

Hi - I have a table like:

 

I have a slicer on Staff Name and a table that shows other info in the table for the selected Staff Name

 

I'm trying to build a measure I can use to filter a second table on the page to show other Staff that have the same Supervisor.  The second table is set to have no interaction with the slicer.  I've tried some variatons on this theme:

 

Measure = 

VAR _sup = SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Supervisor Name])
VAR _tab = SELECTCOLUMNS(filter(all(Table), Table[Supervisor Name] = _sup), "Supervisor", Table[Supervisor Name])

RETURN

if(_sup in _tab, 1, 0)

Countrows(_tab) shows the expected number of rows based on the person selected in the slicer, but the Measure seems to be set to 1 for all rows in Table.

 

Have also tried using CALCULATETABLE with the same result.  School me!

    Hi rack201 

     

    I ran the testing as follows.

     

    tables:

    The table acts as a slicer.

     

     

     

    Create a measure as follows

    Measure = 
    VAR _supername = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Supervisor Name]), FILTER('Table', [Staff Name] = SELECTEDVALUE('staff'[Staff Name])))
    RETURN
    IF(MAX('Table (2)'[Supervisor Name]) = _supername && MAX('Table (2)'[Staff Name]) <> SELECTEDVALUE(staff[Staff Name]), 1, 0)

     

    Put the measure into the visual-level filters, set up show items when the value is 1.

     

    Is this the result you expect?

     

    If I've misunderstood you, please provide the result you are hoping for. Please remove any sensitive data in advance.
