    Hi krdavies 

     

    Keep that split table you made where you broke out each student-mentor combo into separate rows. and follow rthses steps:

    1. Change how the relationship works:

      • Open Model view
      • Click the line between "Mentor relationships" and "Registrant History"
      • Set Cross filter direction to Both
    2. Add your slicer:

      • Drop the MENTOR field into a slicer visual
      • Pick a mentor and it'll pull up everyone they work with

    Basically the filter needs to work both ways, right now it only goes one direction, so selecting a mentor doesn't push back to your main table.

     

    If that doesn't fix it, try changing the relationship type to Many-to-Many, sometimes Power BI gets picky about cardinality when you've got duplicate IDs floating around.


    Did it work? 👍 A kudos would be appreciated
