Filter between 2 visual tables from the same data source

Hi,

I have a Task table for the datasource in PowerBI dashboard. This can be an example for Task table structure and data:
ID Category Type
1   1   Main

2   1   Sub

3   2   Main

4   2   Main

5   2   Sub


Now, in Power BI, I added 2 table visuals each have visual filter Type, table visual #1 would only show Type=Main and table visual #2 would only show Type=Sub. What I want is when I click Category=1 in visual#1, visual#2 would show data with type=Sub and Category=1, but the table would be empty and I guess it's because the filter from visual#1 passes ID and Type also to the visual#2. Is there any workaround for this?

    Hello ja_02 

     

    Follow this steps

    Use a Disconnected Category Table to Filter by Category Only

    Create a new disconnected table:

    CategoryFilter = DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS('Task', "Category", 'Task'[Category]))

    Create a measure to check category match

    IsCategorySelected =

    VAR SelectedCategory = SELECTEDVALUE(CategoryFilter[Category])

    RETURN IF(SelectedCategory = 'Task'[Category], 1, 0)

    Apply filters on visuals:

    Visual #1 Filter Type = Main and IsCategorySelected = 1

    Visual #2 Filter Type = Sub and IsCategorySelected = 1

    Use CategoryFilter as a slicer or visual to control both tables.

    Thanks,
