    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.


    Define 

    HierarchyPath = 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))
    RETURN
        IF (
            ISBLANK(SelectedRegion),
            1, -- Show all records if no slicer is selected
            IF (
                ISEMPTY(FilteredTable),
                0, -- Record doesn't match filter
                1  -- Record matches filter
            )
        )

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:
