Filter a column with another column

Hi,

 

 

This is my problem : 

 

I have data like this

 

Name Column2 Column3

name1 ...

name2 ...

...

name200 ....

 

And I have an other data (excel format) with juste a name column like this : 

Name

name1

name2

...

 

And I want to filter the first dataset with just the name of the excel file

 

How can I do this ?

 

Thanks !

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

You can try using a slicer after creating a relationship for two tables.
