I am new and apologize if this has been discussed prior, but I need to find away to filter data using data from a prior filtered result.
My table looks like this:
Name Skill
User 1 A,B,C
User 2 B,C,D
User 3 C,D,E
User 4 A,B,E
Using a filter or slicer, I would like to be able to find all of the users with Skill C then filter the result of that to find the Users with Skill A. Is this easy, difficult, possible?
Thank you in advance for your time and assisstance.

@Anonymous,
Create two tables(Slicer1 and Slicer2) which will be used in your slicer. Then create two measure in your original table.
Slicer1 =
var selecteditem = MAX(Slicer1[Slicer])
return IF(HASONEFILTER(Slicer1[Slicer]),IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(selecteditem,MAX(Table2[Skill]))),0,1),1)
Slicer2 =
var selecteditem = MAX(Slicer2[Slicer])
return IF(HASONEFILTER(Slicer2[Slicer]),IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(selecteditem,MAX(Table2[Skill]))),0,1),1)
Then add those two measures into visual filter.
