Hi @myou,

 

Based on my test, we can take the following steps to meet your requirement.

 

1. Create two calculated columns.

 

con = CONCATENATE(Table1[Member1],Table1[Member2])
con2 = CONCATENATE(Table1[Member2],Table1[Member1])

2. Create two measures as below.

 

Conca = CALCULATE(CONCATENATEX(VALUES(Table1[Member1]),Table1[Member1]),ALLSELECTED(Table1))
Measure = IF(MAX(Table1[con]) = [Conca] || MAX(Table1[con2])= [Conca],1,0)

3. Then we can create the visual and filter the visual based on the Measure.

@v-frfei-msft,

 

What does MAX do in the IF here?  I was trying to learn from this example and replaced MAX with MIN as I thought it was just trying to determine if the comparison was TRUE and got the same results EXCEPT for the grand total in which I got a 0.  Can you help me understand why?

 

Thanks again for a great solution.  

 

Dawn
