Hi, @

According to your description, you want to make a Slicer that can filter a list of text which contains the value of its’ selection, you can try my steps:

This is my test data:

  1. I created a measure:
Flag =

var _value=SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[Slicer])

return

IF(CONTAINSSTRING(MAX('Table'[Text]),_value),1,0)
  1. I created a Slicer and a table chart and apply a filter to the table chart like this:

And you can get what you want, like this:

@Anonymous , Try a measure like

 

calculate(countrows(Table), filter(Table, search(selectedvalue(slicer[value]),Table[Column],,0) >0))

 

Plot this measure with a column in this example -Table[Column]
