Filter a table by a slicer lookup to another table

[DataSc86]

I have a table that contains a lookup for clients and the type of client: 

Client	Type
Amazon	Ecom
Google	Search Engine
Walmart	Ecom
Best Buy	Ecom

I have a slicer for the client and it filters the whole report correctly, but I wanted to do a comparative analysis based on type on a comparison tab. So all the tabs should sync to "Amazon" when they click that (currently works fine without concern) but trying to build out a single tab and table that when you click on "Amazon" it shows the data for just the "Ecom" types ['Amazon', 'Walmart','Best Buy'] so I can show the market analysis. 

I have tried to play with multiple formulas and guides online but not able to do it yet based on any tutorial I have found.

Hi,

I have solved a similar problem in the attached PBi file.

Hope this helps.

Create a measure that filters the data for the selected client's type and retrieves data for all clients within that type:

ComparativeData =
VAR SelectedClientType =
SELECTEDVALUE(ClientLookup[Type])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
[YourMeasure], 
TREATAS(
VALUES(ClientLookup[Client]),
'FactTable'[Client]
),
FILTER(
ALL(ClientLookup),
ClientLookup[Type] = SelectedClientType
)
)

This approach dynamically adjusts to show the comparative analysis based on the selected client's type.

Hi @DataSc86 

You can refer to the following solution.

Sample data is the same as you provided.

Create a new table, the table has no relationship with other tables.

Type = SUMMARIZE('Table',[Client])

Then create a measure.

MEASURE =
VAR a =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Type] ),
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[Client] IN VALUES ( 'Type'[Client] )
    )
VAR b =
    COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( 'Table', [Type] IN a ) )
RETURN
    IF ( ISFILTERED ( 'Type'[Client] ), IF ( b > 0, 1, 0 ), 1 )

Then create a table visual and put the measure to the visual filter.

Then create a slicer and put the client field of the type table to the slicer, then filter.

Output

I am trying to make this work but I have a lot of tables that tie together and its not just really the single table interaction. I'll keep playing with it and once I validate I can make it work will accept as the solution
