DAX filter where text in two columns is the same

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I have a problem where as a filter there where the text in two distinct columns is the same then it stays in the filter. I have tried X =Y and I cannot add the second measure. is there a dax where I can do this?

Hi @Anonymous ,

1.Create a calculated column to determine whether it matches.

T/F = 
IF (
    SUMX (
        'Table (2)',
        FIND ( UPPER ( 'Table (2)'[fruit] ), UPPER ( 'Table'[fruit] ),, 0 )
    ) > 0,
    "True","False"
)

2.The result is as follows.

You can check more details from here.

@Anonymous - Not sure, sample data might help, but can you create a measure like this?

Selector = IF(MAX([X]) = MAX([Y]),0,1)

Then filter on 1?

Otherwise, Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

@Anonymous , The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.

Couple of examples of possible filter

calculate([Measure], filter(Table, Table[col1] =Table[Col2]))

calculate([Measure], filter(Table, Table[col1] =Max(Table2[Col1])))

Appreciate your Kudos.

For example in one table (call this 'Table'[fruit]) there is :

apple

banana

pear

orange

lemon

And a second table 'Table2'[fruit]:

apple

kiwi

satsuma

lemon

I need to return results from table one where there is exact text match between the two
