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 ...

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
)
)

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

  Hi Jp_ON ,
  
  I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.
