Disconnected Slicer to slice a table

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,...
Need Help

    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

Hi pmay ,

Apologies. selectflag must be a measure and not a calculated column. 
Also, could you please verify if you're capturing the slicer value correctly?

I've no idea why I misread that last time.  I even wondered why it would be a calculated column.
I've added the SelectFlag to my table visual, but every row still returns a 1.
My SelectedChain measure:

SelectedChain = SELECTEDVALUE('DIM Value Chains'[Value Chain])
Which is what's in the slicer, and the content of the slicer does look like you specified - just a single value for each value chain in my dataset.
 
Finally, my SelectFlag measure:
SelectFlag =
VAR _sel = [SelectedChain]
VAR _chain = MAX('DIM Value Chains'[Value Chain])
RETURN
IF(CONTAINSSTRING(_chain, _sel), 1,0)
 
When putting SelectedChain on a card, it returns the value selected in the Slicer.

    Think I've just spotted my error this time - give me a moment
