PathContains from SelectedValue issue with GUID
I have a Table of equipment records that are connected through the Account to Regions.
When I attempt to use the PATHCONTAINS() with SELECTEDVALUE() It always returns False() where if I hard code the GUID it works as expected.
I created a seperate table of Regions to bypass any relationship filtering that may occur.
I must be missing something, all formats are text, tried Column VS measure and only measure would populate RegionSelected
Tried CONTAINSSTRING() rather then PATHCONTAINS(), same result.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Jp_ON ,
Thanks for your detailed reply. I updated my sample pbix file, please check if that is what you want. Please update the formula of measure [HeirarchyRegionInPath] as below:
HeirarchyRegionInPath_New = VAR _Selectedname = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Region list'[Name] ) VAR _account = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Units'[Account] ) VAR _terr = CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'esi_region'[esi_territory] ), FILTER ( 'esi_region', IFERROR ( SEARCH ( _Selectedname, 'esi_region'[Name], 1, 0 ), 0 ) > 0 ) ) VAR _accounts = CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'account'[Name] ), FILTER ( 'account', 'account'[esi_territory] IN _terr ) ) RETURN IF ( _account IN _accounts, 1 )Best Regards
Took a few rounds but this was what we landed on.
Have a Table used for Selecting region(Region list) so that the relationships between tables doesn't restrict the avaialble Regions.
DefineHierarchyPath = PATH(Regions[esi_regionid],Regions[Parent Region (esi_region)])
Then against the Region table this Column is added and we filter the grids based on "RegionInPath is 1"RegionInPath =VAR SelectedRegion = SELECTEDVALUE('Region list'[Region])VAR FilteredTable =FILTER(regions, PATHCONTAINS(Regions[HierarchyPath], SelectedRegion))RETURNIF (ISBLANK(SelectedRegion),1, -- Show all records if no slicer is selectedIF (ISEMPTY(FilteredTable),0, -- Record doesn't match filter1 -- Record matches filter))

Hi Jp_ON - update the IF() logic in the HeirarchyRegionInPath measure
HeirarchyRegionInPath =
VAR SelectedRegion = SELECTEDVALUE('Region list'[Region], BLANK()) -- Use SELECTEDVALUE()
VAR RelatedRegionPath =
LOOKUPVALUE(
ESI_region[HierarchyPath],
esi_region[Region],
RELATED(account[esi_territory])
)
RETURN
IF (
NOT(ISBLANK(SelectedRegion)) &&
PATHCONTAINS(RelatedRegionPath, SelectedRegion),
TRUE(),
FALSE()
)if the above is logic not working, can you revisiting the relationships between the tables to ensure that the lookup functions are pulling the correct data.

Hi Jp_ON ,
You can update the formula of measure [HeirarchyRegionInPath] as below, please check if it can return the expected result...
HeirarchyRegionInPath = VAR SelectedRegion = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Region list'[Region] ) VAR hpath = SELECTEDVALUE ( esi_region[HierarchyPath] ) RETURN IF ( NOT ( ISBLANK ( SelectedRegion ) ) && IFERROR ( SEARCH ( SelectedRegion, hpath, 1, 0 ), 0 ) > 0, TRUE (), FALSE () )If the above one can't help you figure out, please provide some raw data in your table 'account' (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples base on provided raw data. Is there any relationship between the table 'esi_region' and 'account'? If yes, please provide the relationship info(cardinality, direction etc.). It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following link to share the required info:

Thank you for the response. Greatly appreciated. Unfortunately they did not get me to the outcome I'm after.
here is some Example "Region List"Region list = SELECTCOLUMNS(ESI_region,"Name", ESI_region[Name],"Region", ESI_region[Region])Name Region Southern Ontario 950AA956-C095-EC11-B400-0022486DE339 Ontario 8B0AA956-C095-EC11-B400-0022486DE339 Northern Ontario 850AA956-C095-EC11-B400-0022486DE339 Central Ontario 750AA956-C095-EC11-B400-0022486DE339
And here is the Table of records we're looking to filter by the selected region.

the expecation is that if Ontario(8B0AA956-C095-EC11-B400-0022486DE339) is selected in the Region list because it exists in the HierarchyPath (990AA956-C095-EC11-B400-0022486DE339|C4BE4E26-D198-EC11-B3FE-000D3A09E9DA|710AA956-C095-EC11-B400-0022486DE339|8B0AA956-C095-EC11-B400-0022486DE339) of all those units, they all would have "HeirarchyRegionInPath"= True. The Formula's presented above are what I'm trying to get to represent these conditions/Hierarchy
