How to create a dropdown slicer that when selected shows things that the value is contained in?

I have two lists, one is a list of componenets and the other is a list of paths that display the flow of components to finished goods. Is it possible to create a dropdown on components and when a component is selected, it would display of the different paths it is associated with? This is a little snippet of some dummy data to try to show what I am trying to do:

If the user selects R98300 then all of the paths that are associated with that components would pop up. I would use the contains filter on PATH, but it is difficult to have the user type everything down since some of these compoenets are quiet complex. Thanks!

@amitchandak Thanks for the fast reply, this is close to what I am looking for but not excatly. Do you know if you are able to type some words down and then some suggestions would appear using this tool?
