Create table with a subset of another table

Hi all,

 

I've an "Employee" table which contains all the employees from a company. in this table, there is one column with the employeeID, and another one with the ManagerID (each manager is also a row in the Employee table, and thus has an employeeID too).

 

I'd like to create a separate table to store only Managers.

 

Could help me on the filter to use to build this ?

 

Manager = CALCULATETABLE('Employees; 'Employees'[MANAGERID] in (...))

 

I know how I would do it in SQL, but not really in Power BI with DAX formulaes.

 

Thanks for your help

Benoît

If you can't do it in SQL, then do it in Power Query (get data) instead.  Import the first table with all the staff (including Mangers) and load.  This is your data table.  Then create a new query by referencing the first query (right click on the query/reference).  Remove the columns and rows you don't want and then remove any duplicates.  Finally load this table too

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
