Create a table based on a condition

I have the following table

ScoreCommentPerson
1 p1
2 p1
3 p1
4 p1
 abcp1
2 p2
3 p2
4 p2
5 p2
  p2

 

How can I create another table that contains only rows for person p1 who provided a comment? The desired output should look like this

ScoreCommentPerson
1 p1
2 p1
3 p1
4 p1
 abcp1

 

Thank you.

Hi, 

Try this:

 

Table = 

VAR _tbl = SUMMARIZE(FILTER('Table', NOT ISBLANK('Table'[Comment])), 'Table'[Person])
RETURN

CALCULATETABLE(
    'Table',
    'Table'[Person] IN _tbl
)

Hi, 

Try this:

VAR _tbl = SUMMARIZE(FILTER('Table', NOT ISBLANK('Table'[Comment])), 'Table'[Person])
RETURN

CALCULATETABLE(
    'Table',
    'Table'[Person] IN _tbl
)

Hi @PVO3 , thank you for a clear and easy to follow solution. Much appreciated.

I tried to use the following formula hoping it would return the desired result

Table 2 = 
VAR comments = CALCULATETABLE( VALUES('Table'[Person]), 'Table'[Comment] <> "") 
VAR tbl = FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Person] = comments)
RETURN tbl

However, it resulted in this error 

<ccon>A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected.</ccon>

Could you please tell me what that error meant? What's wrong with my formula?
