    2.Create calculate table as the slicer of table 2

    Table = DISTINCT('financials'[Country])

     

    3. create measure as below to replace the column your mentioned.

    MEASURE COGS2 = CALCULATE(SUM(financials[COGS]),FILTER(CALCULATETABLE(ALLSELECTED('financials'),ALL(financials[Country])),'financials'[Country] in DISTINCT('Table'[Country])))

     

    4.Using edit intractions to achieved the filter context

If you go to Power Query you can make a "reference" copy of the table, which should not be affected by slicers you put on the first table, and you should be able to "slice" the reference table independently

Hi kentyler ,

thanks, thats definitely an option. 

 

But is there no way we can capture the selections from the slicers (using the same column) in the example I mentioned.

      Hi v-easonf-msft ,

       

      Thanks for your reply and the attachment. 

      I can use this in my current model.

       

      But is there any way we can refer to the slicers without duplicating the tables or creating references?

       

      Is there a way we can use the slicer names in DAX?

       

      thanks.

    I'm not clear.

    When you pick a value in slicer 1, and then in slicer 2

    do you want the table to be filtered by both values

    or do you want to have to tables (displayed) each of which is filtered by a different slicer
