    Hi, Kayla2020 

     

    You can try the following methods.

    Measure = 
Var _table=UNION(CALCULATETABLE(Slicer_1),FILTER(Slicer_1,[project]=SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer_1[project])),CALCULATETABLE(Slicer_2),FILTER(Slicer_2,[project]=SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer_2[project])))
Return
IF(SELECTEDVALUE(Facts_table[project]) in _table,1,0)

    Place measure in the filter of the view to be filtered and set it equal to 1.

    Is this the result you expect?

Thank you for your response speedramps

I am trying to compare dept cost between two projects in the same location.

What I did - I created two disconnected tables for the selection of the projects and created measures based on these tables.

What I am trying to achieve - I want to apply country and cluster slicers as filters to the disconnected tables so that if a country and cluster are selected, the disconnected table slicers return projects in the selected country and cluster. This would enable me to select projects based on the same location and cluster.

Please find attached the pbix file.

Thanks.
