Help with simple? contains filter

Newbie, forgive me.  I know there are lots of examples out there but none seemed to match what I'm looking for and I'm not the best in this area.

 

Hoping to get help where if a slicer name is selected, a table will display all rows where the name is found in one of two columns.  A link with a small file with the data & example is below.  I appreciate the help.

Hi use this measure:

 

 

Contained =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Names[Name] ) = SELECTEDVALUE ( Data[Assigned To] );
    1;
    IF (
        SEARCH (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( Names[Name] );
            SELECTEDVALUE ( Data[Back-up] );
            1;
            BLANK ()
        )
            = BLANK ();
        BLANK ();
        1
    )
)

ANd use a Visual Filter int the Table Visual to Contained is 1

Get...

 

The syntax for ';' is incorrect. (DAX(IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Names[Name] ) = SELECTEDVALUE ( Data[Assigned To] ); 1; IF ( SEARCH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Names[Name] ); SELECTEDVALUE ( Data[Back-up] ); 1; BLANK () ) = BLANK (); BLANK (); 1 )))).
