How do I create a list of values based on a slicer selection, so I can then populate a table?

I have a list of groups and a list of rules based on job title. The rules don't always follow the same format so I can't just join the two tables in the model and select from the slicer to fill the table.

 

The end results is that I want to select a an Employee Grouping in a slicer and display the employees in a table. I'd be happy to create some list of nested if statements and iterate through each rule or similar but I don't know where I would evaluate that list of nested if statements.

 

These are the two tables of data I'm working with:

 

Employee GroupingRule
LeadershipJobTitle = "Leadership"
ManagersJobTitle = "Manager"
Factory StaffJobTitle = "Factory"
Admin StaffJobTitle IS LIKE "Admin"
Temp StaffJobTitle IN ("Temp Office", "Temp Factory")

Hi, @cw900 

 

You can try the following methods.

Column:

Employee Grouping = 
SWITCH(TRUE(),
[Employee JobTitle]="Leadership","Leadership",
[Employee JobTitle]="Manager","Managers",
[Employee JobTitle]="Factory","Factory Staff",
SEARCH("Admin",[Employee JobTitle],,BLANK())<>BLANK(),"Admin Staff",
[Employee JobTitle] in {"Temp Office", "Temp Factory"},"Temp Staff")

Hi,

Write this calculated column formula

Column = if(SEARCH("admin",Data[Employee JobTitle],,BLANK()),"Admin",if(SEARCH("temp",Data[Employee JobTitle],,BLANK()),"Temp",Data[Employee JobTitle]))

Hope this helps.
