    Hi OmoigirlBI 

    You can create a measure.

    Measure =
VAR a =
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER (
            MASTER - GEOGRAPHY,
            [GEOGRAPHY_CODE] IN VALUES ( 'MY REPORT'[GEOGRAPHY_CODE] )
        ),
        [GEOGRAPHY_DESCRIPTION_ES]
    )
RETURN
    IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( MASTER - GEOGRAPHY[GEOGRAPHY_DESCRIPTION_ES] ) IN a, 1, 0 )

    Then put the measure to the slicer visual filter and remove your code field 

    Then it can only display the description.

     

    Best Regards!

Hi and thank you!!

I have two tables, one master of geographies, and another one with my report, they are related by geography_code, but i don't know how in my filter, use description instead of code of geography.
