    Hi chintusasmal123,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

    From what you've described, you have a table where SH, UH, and LM are stored in separate columns along with the department name, and you are using a slicer based on a separate table where these names are flattened into a single column.

    The challenge here is that the slicer (based on the flattened table) doesn’t have a direct relationship to the SH/UH/LM columns individually, so selecting a name from the slicer doesn't filter the department data as expected.

    To get this working, you'll need a way to check if the selected name from the slicer matches any of the SH, UH, or LM columns in your main table. This typically involves creating a calculated column or measure that performs the check using DAX. Once try this :

    IsSelected =
    VAR SelectedName = SELECTEDVALUE(FlattenedTable[Name])
    RETURN
    IF (
    SelectedName IN {
    EmployeeTable[SH],
    EmployeeTable[UH],
    EmployeeTable[LM]
    },
    1,
    0
    )

    Then, you can use this logic to filter your visuals or build a measure that only shows departments where the selected person appears in any of the hierarchy levels.
