Hi All,

AEP,AO,SQI
AEP,SQI
AO
AO,SQI
SQI
From this I have created a slicer in power BI using "contains" which has the follwing values
AEP
AO
SQI
Hi, @Anonymous
I am afraid that it cannot be achieved at present.
Powerbi cannot obtain the status of your last step. Each change of the selected state is compared with the unselected state of the slicer and you cannot compare the last selection state of the slicer with the current selection state.

You should be able to use a measure like this in your table visual with your column of values to be searched (or as a visual level filter = 1).
Visible =
VAR slicervalues =
VALUES ( Table1[SlicerColumn] )
VAR thisvalue =
MIN ( Table2[SearchColumnValues] )
VAR rowsfound =
FILTER ( slicervalues, SEARCH ( Table1[SlicerColumn], thisvalue, 1, 0 ) > 0 )
RETURN
IF ( rowsfound > 0, 1, BLANK () )
