Filter only Impacts one column

I have a table with three columns from my data set and a fourth column that is a measure called relationships. The Measure is as follows: >>>Relationship = DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK('Aggregate Officer'[Unique identifier])<<<

 

Team

Member

 Name Job Title    Relationships
A MICHAEL               VP AND CONTROLLER     10
B MICHAELVP AND CONTROLLER     5
C MICHAELVP AND CONTROLLER    15
A GARYAVP    25
B GARYAVP    5
C GARYAVP    10
B JimExec   20
C JimExec   10
B TonyAssistant   30
C TonyAssistant   35

 

I want the ability to slice the above table by team member but I only want the filter to impact the relationship column. So for example when I slice the below table by team member “A” all the names should remain on the table. The relationship column however would be blank for Jim and Tony because Team Member "A" does not have a relationship with these individuals

 

 

Name          Job Title   Relationships
MICHAEL          VP AND CONTROLLER   10
GARY          AVP    25
Jim          Exec 
Tony          Assistant

Hi @dw700d ,

 

As far as I know, if you use [Team Member] column which is related to other columns in your visual, these columns like [Job Title]/[Name] will be filtered.

Here I suggest you to create an unrelated Dim Team Member table for the slicer.

Dim Team Member = 
VALUES('Aggregate Officer'[Team Member])

Measure:

Relationship =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK ( 'Aggregate Officer'[Unique identifier] ),
    FILTER (
        'Aggregate Officer',
        'Aggregate Officer'[Team Member] IN VALUES ( 'Dim Team Member'[Team Member] )
    )
)

And turn on "Show items with no data", result is as below.

@olgad that does not work because the rows with blanks in the example above have no connection with Team Member A
