How do i create a filter on feature?

Here is my underlying table

 

ProductFeature_1Feature_2Feature_3Feature_4
A1100
B1010
C1111
D0001
E1001

 

I would like to create a filter drop_down when i

 

select Feature_1, it will return me A, B, C, E

select Feature 2, it wil return me A, C

 

Is there a way to do this in PowerBI?

Hi @GAPER , 
Yes you can do this in PowerBI .
Go to Power Query and select all features column from 1 to 4 and unpivot it. 

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUtJBQrE60UoBRfkppcklQK5bamJJaVFqvCES2wiJbYzENgHrdQSKGEKxARiDRJ2QRAzhos5IaiEYJOoC1wlTDxJ1RTETLBoLAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t, Column5 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}}),
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Changed Type", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"", type text}, {"_1", type text}, {"_2", type text}, {"_3", type text}, {"_4", type text}}),
    #"Promoted Headers1" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Changed Type1", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers1",{{"Product", type text}, {"Feature_1", Int64.Type}, {"Feature_2", Int64.Type}, {"Feature_3", Int64.Type}, {"Feature_4", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type2", {"Product"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{{"Attribute", "Feature"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

 

Then plot silcer of feature column and table of product column . 
ADD Visual level filter in table where value = 1

I just don't know how do i replace the parameters in the powerQuery . For example this is how i would replace in the first line but i don't know how do i replace the rest.

Actually this might not solved the problem? Because if I selected like feature 2 and 3. Is it returning multiple row of A? If i have any aggregration of the value. For example the below. Will it still be aggregrating everything correctly? Thanks
