Filter Filtered Data

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.
