    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!
