Slicers with list

Hi, I have this question.

 

I have this kind of data. Each part numbers has different colors with ; delimiters.

Part NumberColors
123White;Green;Blue
234Purple;Orange;White
334Red;Green;Black
564Black
675Yellow;Black
........

 

I want to have a list of part numbers that has certain color, for example resulting 123 and 234 for parts that has White color. 

I know I can use a text slicer or search feature on normal slicer, but I don't want the customer to type or click multiple times.

Is there any way to make a slicer based on another table with the list of the available colors? 

 

Available Colors
White

Green

Black
Purple
Orange
Red
Yellow

 

Thank you for your help, experts!

 

Cheers!

    Hi mryoan04 

     

    Create a custom in Power Query with this formula:

    Text.Split([Colors], ";")

    This wil create a list of values from the Colors column. Expand that into new rows.
