Hi, @chapmanbry 

 

Based on your description, you may create a calculated column or a measure as below. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Calculated column:
Re Column = 
var tab = 
FILTER(
    Reference,
    IF(
       SEARCH(Production[Results 1],Reference[Criteria 1],,-1)>0,
       TRUE(),FALSE()
    )&&
    IF(
       SEARCH(Production[Results 2],Reference[Criteria 2],,-1)>0,
       TRUE(),FALSE()
    )&&
    IF(
        SEARCH(Production[Results 3],Reference[Criteria 3],,-1)>0,
        TRUE(),FALSE()
    )
)
return
CONCATENATEX(
    tab,
    [Group],
    ","
)

Measure:
Re Measure = 
var tab = 
FILTER(
    Reference,
    IF(
       SEARCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Production[Results 1]),Reference[Criteria 1],,-1)>0,
       TRUE(),FALSE()
    )&&
    IF(
       SEARCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Production[Results 2]),Reference[Criteria 2],,-1)>0,
       TRUE(),FALSE()
    )&&
    IF(
        SEARCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Production[Results 3]),Reference[Criteria 3],,-1)>0,
        TRUE(),FALSE()
    )
)
return
CONCATENATEX(
    tab,
    [Group],
    ","
)

 

Result:
