Hi @Anand09  Considering the below scenario you want :

If this is the case, you can try below code:

Found or Not = 
VAR searchvalue =
    SELECTEDVALUE (PlanTable[Plan])
RETURN
IF(
    HASONEVALUE(PostPlan[Post Plan]),
    IF (
        CONTAINSSTRING (
            CONCATENATEX ( 'PostPlan', 'PostPlan'[Post Plan], "," ),
            searchvalue
        ),
        "Yes",
        "No"
    )
)

Here, PlanTable is a seperate table contains all the unique plan. Plan column from this table will be used in slicer for user selection.

 

You can use, your column name which contains all unique plan will be used in slicer.

 

 

Hope this helps!!

If this solved your problem, please accept it as a solution.

@Anand09 maybe add a measure like this, change table and column name as per your model:

 

 

Selected Plan = 
VAR __selectedPlan = SELECTEDVALUE ( UserSelection[Plan] )
VAR __postPlan = SELECTEDVALUE ( Plan[Post Plan] )
RETURN
IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( __postPlan, __selectedPlan ), "Yes", "No" )
