    Hi GTheunissen ,

     

    So you want to filter the second table for usernames that are common to the first table?

     

    If so, you can try this measure to filter:

    Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table 1'[username]) in VALUES('Table 2'[Column2]),SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Column2]))

     

    the result will as the image shows:

    If this way meets your needs, you also can view my testing pbix file.

If you want to filter table 1 based on the companies that exist in table 2, you can merge tables in Power Query. 

step 1. Merge table1 and 2 based on company name

step2. expand company name column from table 2

 

step 3. export the merged table3

There are different ways to export the data, here I simply copy the whole table3 and paste it to Excel. You can filter out the null values in tab2: Company Name before copy data.
