Create a slicer from a data column separated by delimiter

[rb161604888]

Hello All,

I need help in creating a slicer from a column where the data is separated by delimiter. 

1. Below is the master data table:

Type	Category
A	Category1; Category2
B	Category2; Category3
C	Category1
D	Category1; Category3
E	Category1; Category2; Category3
F	Category2
G	Category3

2. I want a create a slicer based on "Category" which is the second column. 

Slicer

Category1

Category2

Category3

Based on the selection from the slicer, the data from first column "Type" will be filtered in another table. 

3. Scenarios:

Scenario 1: Category1 is selected

Slicer

Category1 - Selected

Category2

Category3

Below will be the output in a separate table:

Type

A

C

D

E

Similar when catergory 2 or 3 is selected.

Scenario 2: Category1 & Category2 is selected. This is an example just to show different mix & match scenarios.

Slicer

Category1 - Selected

Category2 - Selected

Category3

Output Table:

Type

A

B

C

D

E

F

Scenario 3: All 3 selected

Slicer

Category1 - Selected

Category2 - Selected

Category3 - Selected

Output Table:

Type

A

B

C

D

E

F

G

I will really appreciate if you guys can help me tackle this issue.

Thanks in advance!

@rb161604888 I think you are going to want a separate, disconnected table with your categories and use that as your slicer. Then you could use a Complex Selector. The Complex Selector - Microsoft Power BI Community
