Slicer Select to create flag from other table

Hi jbaisley , although I do not any clear connection between both datasets what you can try to do is to add a TREATAS() to the measure on the visual you shared. Something in the lines of:

measure_name =
CALCULATE (
    Measure[Your calculation],
    TREATAS ( VALUES ( 'dataset1'[Authority Group] ), 'dataset2'[INDEX LAD22NM] )
)

Hope this answer solves your problem!

    Thanks goncalogeraldes. I don't have an existing measure as the data set is wide format I am calling out rows that match the authority name. It would be very time consuming to make a measure for each graphic and then a second for neighbour selection. Ideally it would be a binary flag in existing data meaning I could simply pull the column though as a group and then aggregate ethe values I need by that group then and there. If it helps to restate my question. How can I have a dynamic measure/ column appear in Dataset1 when a slicer selects an authority in DataSet 1, such that a group of authorities is selected from Dataset2 so that they can be used a legend in graphics. In theory the measure should just be a list of place names, should it not?

      I may have solved it. Then use this measure as the legend? It gives me the right output. Its where it can be used as intended.

      Measure = var  a = VALUES(Data Set 1[Authority])
return
IF(MAX(Data Set 2[Authority]) in a, 1,0)
