Hello
I have two tables with the following example data:
Table 1
| Grid | Number of Failures |
| apple | 1 |
| banana | 2 |
| cherry | 3 |
| date | 4 |
Table 2
| Grid | Number of Failures |
| orange | 3 |
| yellow | 1 |
| blue | 2 |
| purple | 3 |
I want to create a table through only Dax functions that shows the following
Table 3:
| Number of Failures | Grid |
| 1 | apple, yellow |
| 2 | blue, banana |
| 3 | purple, orange, cherry |
| 4 | date |
How would I do this so then I could create a table visual showing table 3? I would like some relationship set up such that if I also filtered with slicers on my visual they wold work as well. For example if I looked for only apple in table 1. Thank you for your help!

Table =
VAR _tbl1 =

UNION(
DISTINCT('Table 1'[Number of Failures]),
DISTINCT('Table 2'[Number of Failures])
)
)
VAR _result =
ADDCOLUMNS(
_tbl1,
"Grid",
VAR _num = [Number of Failures]
VAR _result1 = CONCATENATEX(FILTER('Table 1', 'Table 1'[Number of Failures] = _num ), 'Table 1'[Grid], ", ")
VAR _result2 = CONCATENATEX(FILTER('Table 2', 'Table 2'[Number of Failures] = _num ), 'Table 2'[Grid], ", ")
VAR _delimiter = IF( NOT ISBLANK(_result1) && NOT ISBLANK(_result2), ", ", "")
RETURN
_result1 & _delimiter & _result2
)
RETURN
_result

Good morning
I wanted to know if it is possible to relate two matrices, that is, I have two tables, one of percentages and one of quantities, both tables you can see area 1 and area 2. I would need that if I click on table 1 to see the areas 2 that that table has, the same thing happens with the other table, that is, if I expand one the other expands.
It's possible?
Thank you!
