how to create a slicer from a column with multiple values separated by delimiter

Hi All,

I want to create a slicer using a column with multiple statements that flags a transaction ,separated by delimiter for each record.

 

Is there a way I can create a table that consists of all the unique statement flags such that when I select statement_1 it will return all the transactions that are flagged by statement_1, eg. trans id 1, 3 and 4.

Also when statement_1 is selected it must update all the visuals in the page (flagged transaction vizual must be 3, donut chart must show statement_1 count and the table must show row 1,3 and 4 which are rows that were flagged by statement_1).

The attempt I made as explained in https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Filter-table-based-on-two-columns/m-p/318359#M141583 , I created a slicer table forunique statement flags and a measure to use to filter.

The issue im having is when I use the slicer table i created on a slicer, it does not update the whole vizuals in the page. It only updates the table.

 

How can I use a slicer for statement flags flagged by transaction field or split statements separated by delimeters?
Is there an alternative vizual I can use that when I select a value on the filter/slicer, all the vizuals will update.

Please see example below, I selected statement_1 on the slicer only the able is updated but the othe vizuals do not update.

The desired output is for all the vizuals to be updated. In this case when Stateent_1 is selected, the flagged transaction card must be 3, th area chart must show the 3 transactions and the donut must show statement_1 percentage and the legends must be statement_1.

I have attached the data I used for this visual as csv file

@cindz_za , We will either split [statement flags that flagged the transactions] column into multiple rows in power query

 

or we create a table using this column, then in a new table duplicate this and split it into rows. Join this with original table [statement flags that flagged the transactions] in the model and handle duplicate in measure using values and summarize
