So I have a table that contains some information about services, like this:   Service Value Chain Service Level ABC Ops, HR Bronze DEF IT, Ops Gold GHI IT, HR Silver JKL HR,...

    Hi pmay ,

    Please try this, provided your disconnected slicer looks like 


    1) Create a measure that captures the selected value from your disconnected slicer

     

    SelectedChain = SELECTEDVALUE(dim_slicer[Value])
     
    2) On your main table, create a measure that acts as a flag to display 1 when the selected value is found within the column
     
    SelectFlag =

    var _sel = dim_slicer[SelectedChain]

    var _chain = MAX(DisconnectedSlicer[Value Chain])

    RETURN
    IF(CONTAINSSTRING(_chain, _sel), 1 , 0)
     
    This will give you the following result. When you've selected "IT", all rows within column "Value Chain" that have value "IT" will be assigned a value of 1.

    In the final step, add measure "SelectFlag" as a visual level filter to the table and set value to 1. This will show you only those rows that have values "IT"

     

     

    Kind regards,

    Rohit

    This works, but relies on my users knwoing the correct value chain acronym.  I'll have a think for a few hours to see if I can put that responsibility on them, to spell a few letters correctly.
    Regardless, this is a great add-in to know about!
