    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Try to create a calculated table using dax

    Table 2 = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table',[Manager ID]<>BLANK()),"Fname",[emp Fname],"Lname",[Emp Lname])

    Check the details from the attachment.

     

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Are you looking for a DAX solution or trying to do this in the query editor?

    Hi,

    Where do you want the extraction to happen - a new table or a visual.  Should it be a calculated column or a measure?  Care to share more details????
