You could create a many-to-many relationship but make the filter direction single so that Table filters Fact.

Depending on the size of Table and the number of distinct names, you could also consider creating a Name table using DISTINCT('Table'[Name]) and create a one-to-many relationship from that to Table. You would then use the new Names table in your slicers and visuals.

Hi @NILU090 ,

I would suggest an easy asnwer which is to create another dim table which contains distinct ID', but it would cost you a peforance setback.

Or else you can reffer this video whcih might solve your problem.
