Show data on Visual1 only if same data is selected on Visual2

This is setup:
1) One list visual showing columns: Category, Total Amount (so list visual, not slicer visual)
2) Second list visual showing Category, Subcategory, Product and some additional fields used for detailed export

As the second visual contains a lot of information, it is very slow.
My goal is that only if user clicks on field Category on the first (list) visual, it shows data on the second visual for that selected category.

There is approach: 

Advertiser Is Selected = IF(ISFILTERED(Category[Category Name]),1,0)

But it fails because i also show field category name in the second visual and it returns 1 for each row which means it shows all data.

There are alternatives:
1) to remove category column from that second visual (which is not ideal as it is needed in export)
2) to create drill through button to new page with all these details (which is not ideal as i would need only this specific visual on new page. But for now this seems like the best option)
3) to create tooltip (which is not ideal as user can't export data from tooltip)

But i wondered if using Dax i can work this out?

Thanks in advance

@Ritaf1983 thank you for interest in this subject and sorry for late response. 
We did further tests and decided to split this report into multiple pages as there were a lot of different filters on a visual level which would prevent what was initially requested.

Cheers,
Nemanja

Hi @nandic 

Can you please share a pbix or some dummy data that keep the raw data structure with expected results? It should help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.
