Filtering visualization with list

Here is what I would like to happen.

 

I have a filter in which I select a "Department" which is just a number between 1 and 115 and only a single value will be selected.

 

Then I want to go to 'Table1'[Department] and find the row that matches the previously selected value.

 

Then I want to find in another column but in the same table and row the value "Region".

 

Then I want to go to 'Table2'[Region] and find the matching region.

 

When the correct row is found I then need to look in the other columns.

 

Each region has between 1-6 "Neighbour regions". This means that after the first column[Region] there is 6 other columns called neighbour1, neighbour2, ..., neighbour6, which either has a value or is null.

 

I would then like to make a list that consists of the main region and its neighbour regions so that I then can use this list to filter a visulization to only show the data for these regions.

 

I would like all of this to be dynamic so that if I change the selected "Department" in the filter everything else happens automatically.

 

Any suggestions to have this can be implemented?

Hi @Anonymous 

You will need to user a slicer for Department. Slicers get dynamically related data for you. Please refer to the microsoft documentation of slicers here.

 

Please give Kudo and mark as solution if it solves your problem 🙂
