restrict the data in a filter visual from one table with data present only in another table

[psorel]

I have a dimension table containing all the states present in my Power BI, and in other tables I have different states. I would like to use the state column of the dimension table to create a visual filter but by restricting the data visible in the filter to the data present in my second table. Can I put a measure that would allow me to do this?

Use State filter with 8 states but when i use the filter i only see A,C,D,E,F.
THANKS.

Hi  @psorel ,

Are you referring to using [ID] data from another table to affect the [ID] in the dimension table as a slicer

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create measure.

Flag =
var _select=SELECTCOLUMNS('Table1',"id",'Table1'[ID])
return
IF(
    MAX('dimension table'[ID]) in _select,1,0)

2. Place [Flag]in Filters, set is=1, apply filter.

3. Result:

hi @PijushRoy , 
I have an error message telling me that the filter path between the tables of a data model is authorized. and I need to disable relationships between tables. I use the dimension  table for several tables using the same column as relation field.

Hi @psorel 

Please create a relationship with State between both table with both way filter
