Slicer - Using a values in table to slice visuals
Hello,
I have table that shows the genres associated with a movie (i.e Drama, Terror, Comedy). The movies have multiple genres associated with. I would like to slice my visuals using one main Genre. I.E. All Comedy Movies. I have created a table within Power BI Desktop with all the genres. Then, I created a relationship between this table and the one with all the movie's records. Then I createad a Slicer using the values of the new table, and it filters the movies. But only the ones that have only one value for genre.
Can anyone help me how can I use the slicer to filter the lines that contains the genre, rather than the lines that are equal to the genre?
Thank you!

Hi,
I have created a sample file with the details you provided.
Please check if this works for you.
From the sample data you provided I have noticed there is delimter which seperating each Genere.
So, I have split this column based on Comma delimeter and created another table which acts as a dimension table for your slicer.
Related these 2 tables based on Movie name.

Another possible solution is you can duplicate the filed and unpivot it and use that Genere filed for slicer.
