Dynamic Filtering of Two tables based on One slicer, multiple selected values

[mysasai]

Hi all,

I have a situation and I'm assuming it is not possible with straight forward functionalities of PBI. 

Please help me in solving this. 

I have a data source, something like below. 

And there are two table Visuals and a slicer present on the canvas. like below. Table 1 is filtered to show only A,B,C,D using filters on this visual. Similarly, Table2 for E,F,G,H.

Now, the question is when I select any slicer value: for example A & B are selected the table B goes blank like below.

Is there any way to control the interation where when A, B are selected it should not impact Table2. and vice versa, E, F are selected it should not show Table1 as blank.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi @mysasai ,

Please try below steps:

1. below is my test table

Table:

Table2:

create with below dax formula:

Table 2 = VALUES('Table'[Name])

3. create measure with below dax formula

Measure2 =
VAR _str =
    IF ( ISFILTERED ( 'Table 2'[Name] ), CONCATENATEX ( 'Table 2', [Name],, "" ) )
VAR tmp = {
    "A",
    "B",
    "C",
    "D",
    "ABCD",
    "ABD",
    "ABC",
    "ACD",
    "BCD",
    "AB",
    "AC",
    "AD",
    "BD",
    "BC",
    "CD"
}
VAR _name =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Name] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _str IN tmp, IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( _str, _name ), 1 ),
        NOT ( _str IN tmp ), 1
    )

Measure3 =
VAR _str =
    IF ( ISFILTERED ( 'Table 2'[Name] ), CONCATENATEX ( 'Table 2', [Name],, "" ) )
VAR tmp = {
    "E",
    "F",
    "G",
    "H",
    "EFGH",
    "EFG",
    "EFH",
    "EGH",
    "FGH",
    "EF",
    "EG",
    "EH",
    "FG",
    "FH",
    "GH"
}
VAR _name =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Name] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _str IN tmp, IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( _str, _name ), 1 ),
        NOT ( _str IN tmp ), 1
    )

3. add two table visual with Table fields and add above measure to both visual filter pane, add aslicer visual with Table2 field, cancel the interaction between two table visual

@mysasai , Stop interaction between the visuals
