DAX Help with returning rows

Hi All,

 

I have the below sample data:

 

EE IDNameState
1111SantaNH
1111SantaMA
1111SantaCA
23FrostCA
23FrostNH
123123FairyOH
123123FairyID

 

I have a drop down slicer in my workbook using the "State" field. The records above show what states people lived in. What I want to do is be able to click specifically on the state "NH" in the drop down slicer and have it also return the records where they previously lived because I want to use this in a graph visual, as well as a matrix visual for various records to see where they lived for facilities planning.

 

So for example, if I click on NH, it should just return these records (Santa and Frost):

EE IDNameState
1111SantaNH
1111SantaMA
1111SantaCA
23FrostCA
23Frost

NH

 

If I did not click on NH it would show all records in the table (as if I had just SELECT ALL checked) or the state that I selected otherwise (Ex. CA). 

 

Many thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Greg_Deckler's solution could work, you could refer to below steps:

Create below new table:

New Table = SELECTCOLUMNS('Table1',"Name",[Name],"State",[State])

Create below measure:

Standard Selector = 
VAR __dept = MAX([Name])
VAR __products = VALUES('Table1'[State])
VAR __table = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(ALL('New Table'),[State] IN __products),"__dept",[Name])
RETURN
IF(__dept IN __table,1,BLANK())

Use 'New Taable'[State] as slicer and set slicer for the measure:

You could also download the pbix file to have a view.
