Hi, Hoping someone can help whether this scenario is possible....and if so how to achieve it. I have a table that has comma seperated values in a single column (see Fruits table in Red below). ...

    Thanks but this didn't work as expected. When selecting all options it showed all rows when it should only show rows if all options were assigned in the Fruits column (comma seperated) to the row.

    However, I have managed to work it out.


    TABLES


    MEASURE

    Measure =
    VAR selValues = CONCATENATEX(VALUES(Slicer[Fruit]),Slicer[Fruit],", ",Slicer[Fruit],ASC)
    VAR selCount = COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED(Slicer[Fruit]))
    VAR sTableselCount = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table),Table[AssignedCount]=selCount)
    VAR sTableselValues = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table),Table[Fruits]= selValues)
    VAR sResults = IF(sTableselCount>0 && sTableselValues >0,1)
    RETURN
    IF(NOT ISFILTERED(Slicer[Fruit]),0,sResults)



    Add the measure to the table filter as below

Hi DTPBI ,

First we can start by creating such a table in PowerQuery:

And then create relationship with slicer table:

Create a new measure like:

 

Measure = 
VAR __cur_fruit = SELECTEDVALUE('Table1'[FRUITS])
VAR __fruits = VALUES('Table2'[FRUITS])
VAR __slicer_count = COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Slicer'[SLICER]))
VAR __table_count = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table2'),'Table2'[FRUITS] IN __fruits && 'Table2'[FRUITS]=__cur_fruit)
VAR __result = IF(__cur_fruit IN __fruits && __slicer_count = __table_count,1)
RETURN
__result

 

And apply it to the visual's filter:

Output:

    Thanks for the quick response. I may not have been very clear in my original post. I need only results that match exactly what has been selected in the slicer. So for your exampe of Apple & Pear selected, only the row Apple, Pear should be returned and not other rows that contain ether Apple or Pear.

      Hi DTPBI ,

      Please try this measure:

      Measure = 
VAR __cur_fruit = SELECTEDVALUE('Table1'[FRUITS])
VAR __fruits = VALUES('Table2'[FRUITS])
VAR __slicer_count = COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Slicer'[SLICER]))
VAR __table_count = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table2'),'Table2'[FRUITS] IN __fruits && 'Table2'[FRUITS]=__cur_fruit)
VAR __table_count_2 = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table2'),'Table2'[FRUITS]=__cur_fruit,ALLEXCEPT('Table2','Table2'[FRUITS]))
VAR __result = IF(__cur_fruit IN __fruits && __slicer_count = __table_count && __slicer_count = __table_count_2, 1)
RETURN
__result

        DTPBI Hey,
        you can use a custom visual Text Filter to get exact match value as result.

         

         

        Thanks,

        Harish
