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.

Hi @GTheunissen 

There must be a column that links table1 with table2

yes, table 1 merges with tab2 based on column company name.

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.

Hi @GTheunissen ,

Your question is not much clear.  Could you please explain with examples and also share your sample data in text format not a screenshot.

Note:- One suggestion kindly promote your first row as a header in table 2 as shown below:-
