Filter visual by selecting multiple related entries

Hello, I'm pretty new to PowerBI. Our team is tagging email and I have a list of all the email tags used by our team shown in PowerBI.

I would like to be able to select one tag, then the PowerBI visual show only other tags that were included in emails where that tag was included. Then, if I select a second tag, the visual refresh again with only those emails that contain both tags. And continue to be able to select more tags that are present in the same emails until I can find the particular email with all the tags I selected. The goal is to be able to find a particular email, even if I was not the sender, by just guessing the tags that were probably relevant to the topic I'm searching for. Is this possible in Power BI?

Hi @jefern ,

 

 

I believe it is possible. We can use the SEARCH function of Power BI to find out the tags included in each email. 

Based on that, filter the emails.

 

Here is another question for which the SEARCH function helped:

Can you share a sample Power BI file with the emails and the tags?

I'll look for a solution based on your data.

 

Regards
