📈 Filtering Made Easy: Single Value Selection
Sample file included. I need assistance with cross-filtering tables.
I have data for 'Finished Projects' and additional data for 'Client-Specific Projects.'
'Finished Projects' has a column for the project submitter's name; this is my single-value selection.
(Example: "Jane")
The 'Client-Specific Projects' lists the team assignment names - who was tasked with a given project.
(Example: Names separated by a forward slash "Jane/John/Gian")
I cannot figure out a way to filter client-specific project data based on this single-value selection. I attempted to filter on SelectedValue, counting if the row ContainsString, but nothing worked out as I had hoped.
FilteredBySubmitter = CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS('AcmeProjects'),
FILTER(
'AcmeProjects',
CONTAINS(
'AcmeProjects',
'AcmeProjects'[TeamAssignment],
SELECTEDVALUE(FinishedProjects[Submitter])
)
)
)
 
Is Submitter in TeamAssignment =
IF (
ISFILTERED( FinishedProjects[Submitter] ),
IF (
COUNTROWS (
FILTER (
AcmeProjects,
AcmeProjects[TeamAssignment] = SELECTEDVALUE ( FinishedProjects[Submitter] )
)
) > 0,
TRUE (),
FALSE ()
),
BLANK ()
)
And for grins: TeamAssignment - Advanced filtering for "=SELECTEDVALUE('FinishedProjects'[Submitter])"
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

One of the problems could be that your data model contains only many-to-many relationships.
From what I understand, all your tables are FACT tables,. In order to link them, you should have a separate list of UNIQUE submitter names, and use this as a Dimension table, which links only to your FACT tables. Dont link your fact tables together with each other. Its a bit long to explain in this thread, so I really recommend watching some videos on data modelling and getting rid of many-to-many relationships
