Hello all,
I am attempting to filter a table (Table 1) based on values which are found in another table (Which has only unique values: Table2).
Table 1:
Episode # Week#
Episode 1 5
Episode 2 5
Episode 3 6
Table 2:
WeeksToDate
5
Currently the source of Table 2 is manual (i.e. Entered via the " Enter Data" function on the PowerBi Query Editor) and I am using the following function on Table 1 to filter it.
=Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each ( List.Contains( #"Table 2" [WeeksToDate], [Week#])))
This works great and I have no issues.
However, I would like to use the following function (or something similar) to get the week# dynamically (rather than entering manually each week) knowing that Table3[WeeksAired] will always have all the weeks I am interested in - in this case it would not have week 6 :
= List.Distinct(#"Table 3"[WeeksAired])
Table3:
WeeksAired
5
5
5
5
The above function gets the me the value I am intersted in without any issues and I get a table that is seemingly identical to Table2. My issue begins when I replace the reference of Table2 to Table 3 as the filter seems to never end. The process which will normally take ~10-15 seconds now seems to turn forever ( I have yet to see it finish). I was wondering what modificatiosn I could make to have both the dynamic updates as well as the"quick" filtering.
Note: Apologies if I missed any info/proper etiquette for posting in forums as this is my first post ever

Hi@Anonymous
Try with List.Buffer
Following steps after "Added Custom" step
#"Added Custom" = ..............................................
mylist=List.Buffer(List.Distinct(#"Table 3" [WeeksAired])),
Custom1 = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each List.Contains( mylist, [#"Week#"]))
in
Custom1
