Use filter to exclude

I'm having a problem to exclude rows based on a slicer. I've read other topics but none of them solves the issue.

I want to exclude rows in an order table based on Client_id. I have a seperate table with "Client views". In these specific views you can exclude the Client_id or show the client_id. See example below. 

When using a slicer and select for example view_id 1, it shows all the orders with clients A and B. 

 

When selecting view_id 3 in the slicer I want to see all orders except for clients B and E. Anybody able to assist?

    hi rkouwenhoven ,

     

    Please check following steps as below:

    1. Create Measure =

                   var s_h = MAX(Table1[show_hide])

                   return

                   IF(s_h = "1" &&

                       MAX(Table2[client_name]) in VALUES(Table1[client_name]),

                       1,

                       IF(s_h = "0"&&

                           NOT(MAX(Table2[client_name])) in VALUES(Table1[client_name]),

                           1,

                           BLANK()))

    2. Filters on visual measure is not blank.

     

    Results would be shown as below:

    BTW, PBIX file as attached, hopefully works for you.

      Anonymous ,

      I can't seem to get this reproduced. I followed your steps but the measure is not allowed as a filter, neither as a value in the visual. it gives me a failure message. Do I need to have a specific relationship between the 2 tables?

        Anonymous ,

        After some testing it is doing the magic. The 0 and 1 were set up as a whole number in the table but had to change it to a text field. No relation in tables, so now it is working.

         

        Thanks a lot for your help.
