Create a Report based on a Drop Down field

[mshapiro]

Hello,

I would like to create a report in Power BI that will join 2 tables on 1 ID and create a report where we have a CustomerID\Name as a drop down field...chosing the Customer will then populate all the employees that belong to that customer in a table result set below the dropdown. So choosing the CustomerID populates the table with all employees, chosing another CustomerID repopulates the table from scratch with it's employees.

Like a Pivot in Excel.

I was able to easily join the 2 tables in PowerBI based on a PK -> FK. But is this possible to show a report like this in PowerBI Desktop ? If it is, then how?

Thank You.

Max

Hi @mshapiro,

Based on my test, you can refer to below steps:

1.I have entered some sample data to test for your problem like the picture below:

2.Create a Slicer visual and add the ‘Table2’[Customer ID] and create a Table visual and add the related fields. Now you can see the result.

You can also download the PBIX file to have a view.

Thank you Daniel, I will try that.

Can the CustomerID table be a drowdown list instead of a selection list?
