Filtering Table based on field in another table

[akhreis]

I have headcount data which includes the period, employee ID, employee name, job title, manager ID, and manager name.

I'm trying to create a visual where if an employee ID is filtered in Table 1, it will show me that employee's direct reports (those employees that have that employee ID as their Manager ID) in Table 2. I'm also trying to add a second filter on Table 2 to try to toggle between the periods. However, I for the life of me can't figure this out.

Below is an overview of the data set:

Period	Employee ID	Name	Job Title	Manager ID	Manager Name
Jan-22	001	Employee 1	CEO	N/A	N/A
Jan-22	002	Employee 2	Director	001	Employee 1
Jan-22	003	Employee 3	Senior Analyst	002	Employee 1
Jan-22	004	Employee 4	Senior Analyst	002	Employee 1
Jan-22	005	Employee 5	Analyst	002	Employee 1
Feb-22	001	Employee 1	CEO	N/A	N/A
Feb-22	002	Employee 2	Director	001	Employee 1
Feb-22	003	Employee 3	Senior Analyst	002	Employee 2
Feb-22	004	Employee 4	Senior Analyst	002	Employee 2
Feb-22	005	Employee 5	Senior Analyst	003	Employee 2

Table 1

Period	Employee ID	Name	Job Title	Manager ID	Manager Name
Jan-22	001	Employee 1	CEO	N/A	N/A
Feb-22	001	Employee 1	CEO	N/A	N/A

Table 2 (Ideal scenario)

Period	Employee ID	Name	Job Title	Manager ID	Manager Name
Jan-22	002	Employee 2	Director	001	Employee 1
Jan-22	003	Employee 3	Senior Analyst	002	Employee 1
Jan-22	004	Employee 4	Senior Analyst	002	Employee 1
Jan-22	005	Employee 5	Analyst	002	Employee 1
Feb-22	002	Employee 2	Director	001	Employee 1

Unfortunately, there is something that is preventing me from creating a relationship between Employee ID and Manager ID.

Hi @akhreis 

You can create a same table, but it does not have relationship with the original table.

then use the new table as table 1, the original table as table 2

then create a measure in original table"

Measure = IF(ISFILTERED('Table (2)'[Employee ID])=FALSE(),1,IF(MAX('Table'[Manager Name])=MAX('Table (2)'[Name]),1,0))

put the measure to the visual filter of table2

Output
