Creating a combined column from two separate tables in a new table with DAX

Hello

I have two tables with the following example data:

Table 1

GridNumber of Failures
apple1
banana2
cherry3
date4

 

Table 2

GridNumber of Failures
orange3
yellow1
blue2
purple3

 

I want to create a table through only Dax functions that shows the following

Table 3:

Number of FailuresGrid
1apple, yellow
2blue, banana
3purple, 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 = 
DISTINCT(
    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!
