Duplicate Table

I need to duplicate a table, with the exception that I want one of the columns to be filtered.  

I have a table that is pulled from a database.  I can just created a duplicate of the table, but it looks like it's going to run the SQL query again to refresh the new table and I don't really want that.  

In my table, there is a column called "processed by" and there are two possible values.  Let's call these values A and B.  I want to keep this original table with A and B, but then I want a duplicate table that has all the same columns but only pulls "processed by = A".  

It seems like this should be simple, but I'm having a mental block for some reason.

Any help would be appreciated.

In DAX, you can create a Calculated Table, like this:

New Table = FILTER(<original table>, [processed by] = "A")

Cheers!

Don't use duplicate

use Refrence and after that put filter

I hope this will help you
