Filtering data

Hi,

 

I'm relatively new to power BI. I have two data sets, im trying to use one to filter what is show in a report. Simplified example, data has common index.

data set 1:

indexnamestatus
0example 1new
1example 2ready
2example 3ready
3example 4new
4example 5new

 

data set 2:

indexsegment 1segment 2segment 3segment 4segment 5segment 6
0x    x
1      
2xxxxx 
3     x
4     x

 

I want to be able to choose a "segment" and view the resulting "name", and "status" values which apply as indicated by the "x". 

Any tips or best practice for how to combine or transform the data to achieve this would be great!

thanks. let me re-phrase the question into a single table

namestatussegment 1segment 2segment 3segment 4segment 5segment 6
example 1newx    x
example 2ready      
example 3readyxxxxx 
example 4new     x
example 5new     x

 

I want to be able to slice or otherwise filter to just see results from everything that has an "x" in segment 1, or segment 2 and so on.

 

if i pull them into a single table and make a slicer for each item I end up with something like

rather than a slicer with the list of segments which is what a want to filer on, such as

title: Segments

 * segment 1

 * segment 2

 * segment 3

I'm unable to post the raw data, but it has the same structure. This one to many aspect which i want to use for filtering. I'll keep searching and see if i can present it in a different way or otherwise solve it. Thanks!

I'm sorry but I don't see the logic for the visual. How does the first table relate to the segments in the visual?
