How to remove some options in slicer?

Hi everyone, 

 

I have a problem that I am facing right now. I have a table which shows like this:

I want to create a slicer that can filter my table by the certifcation the staffs has. I have a slicer that looks like this right now:

Right now, when i choose A, it will only show Henry. 

 

I want my slicer to look like this:

If i were to choose A, I want my table to show everyone who has the certificate A, which means in my case, it should be able to show John, Henry, Brian.

 

Thank you! Appreciate any help i can get.

2. create a measure with below dax formula

Measure =
VAR cur_select =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table (2)'[Column1] )
VAR cur_cert =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Certification] )
RETURN
    IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( cur_cert, cur_select ), 1 )

3. add a slicer with Table(2) field and add a table visual with Table fields, add measure to table visual filter pane

@Afiq_Danial Easiest way would be to split your column in Power Query and unpivot the columns. Otherwise, you could use a disconnected table for you slicer and a Complex Selector where you use SEARCH. The Complex Selector - Microsoft Power BI Community
