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
            )
        )

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

    Really appreciate your assistance on this. It seems that in your pbix that you merged the Unit records and the Region

    What I have is Region list that is a table specifically for this selection criteria, so that it doesn't filter based on selected value only.

    The relationships of tables are

    ESI_Region --> Account --> ESI_UnitRecords

    The expectation is to have the selected 'Region List' GUID be matched to any that contain that GUID and Filter/Flag based on that. 

    Based on this relationship and the formula you provided as well as all I've tried it doesn't seem to take the Variable of Selctedvalue(), it only seems to work when hard coded.

      Hi Jp_ON ,

      Base on your feedback, it seems that my provided method still can't help you get the expected result. Could you please prepare a simiplifed pbix file with the above three tables(ESI_Region --> Account --> ESI_UnitRecords)? You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Later I will check the file and provide the solution asap.
