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.
