Building a relationship where data is across multiple columns

I am trying to form a relationship between two tables. The unique value that I need to be able to filter/visualise is spread across multiple columns and is the employee name.

 

Basically, I have:

 

Table A with the employees details, name, location, etc.

Employee IDEmployee NameLocationManagerBranch
     

 

Table B with the person responsible for the work.

Application IDTask 1Task 2Task 3Task 4
     

 

I want to be able to build out visualisations for the tasks and who completed them, using things like branch and manager as slicers, but I cannot associate my employees table across multiple task columns... Any ideas.

@JakobGray , One of the ways is to unpivot the columns of the task and then you can filter.

or

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
