How to filter for multiple slicer values?

So I have a table with teams (team_id, team_name), and i have a table with projects (project_id, project_name, owner_team_id, developer_team_id). So each project has a team owning the project, and a team developing the project. 
I need to have a teams slicer with multiple selections, and a resulting table showing projects where selected teams are either an owner_team_id or developer_team_id , i.e. all projects relevant to a team shold be listed. Any idea how I can achieve it using DAX?
I've tried FILTER and SELECTEDVALUES, but I didn't get anywhere ;(

The real world case is a bit more compley, with date slicer as well, so projects table is actually already filtered with date slicer, so I need to apply FILTER function on already fileterdd table (with date slicer).

(how can I attach a pbix file to this post?)

    You could create a measure like

    Team belongs to project =
VAR CurrentTeams =
    VALUES ( 'Teams'[Team ID] )
VAR CurrentProjectOwner =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Project'[owner team ID] )
VAR CurrentProjectDev =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Project'[dev team ID] )
RETURN
    IF (
        CurrentProjectOwner
            IN CurrentTeams
            || CurrentProjectDev IN CurrentTeams,
        1
    )

    and then use that as a visual level filter on the table to only show when the value is 1

      Thank you. Weird, I had a similar code, but my code returned true/false, and I wans't able to filter the results. Using 1/blank as you suggest, can be filtered. I wasn't aware of the boolean limitation in filter.
