Filtering a table based on another table's slicer value when both tables are related

[Twelve]

Hello,

I have two tables and a slicer.

Table1 is the following:

Values	ExtraCol1	ExtraCol2
Value1	ExtraCell1	3
Value2	ExtraCell2	2
Value3	ExtraCell1	4

and Table2 is the following:

ID	ColumnA	ColumnB
1	Value1	Value1
2	Value2	Value1
3	Value1	Value2
4	Value3	Value3

and they are related in both directions with Values <> ColumnA. I have a slicer that allows me to filter Table1 based on the column Values and through that it filters the IDs that I want in Table2 (based on ColumnA). If I choose 'Value1' on the slicer, I'll get the IDs '1' and '3'.

All of this is fine in all of my visualizations except one. In one of my visualizations, I will want to see the IDs that correspond to the values chosen with the slicer, but through ColumnB ONLY. That is, if I choose 'Value1' on the slicer, I want to get the IDs '1' and '2' only.

Thank you for your help!

P.S. I tried to attach a .pbix with the tables written above but it doesn't seem to work.

Hi @Twelve ,

Create an inactive relationship and create a measure as below.

Measure = CALCULATE(MAX(TableB[ID]),USERELATIONSHIP(TableA[Values],TableB[ColumnB]))

Best Regards,

@Twelve , if they are joined 1-M fromTable1  to Table2 where Values is unique in Table 1, then you need two joins with ColumnA and Column B

One will be inactive and you can activate the inactive one using Userelationship in Measure https://radacad.com/userelationship-or-role-playing-dimension-dealing-with-inactive-relationships-in...

Thank you for your answer @amitchandak 

I can see how this would work for calculated measures and numeric, but how can I use USERELATIONSHIP to filter my Table2 as show above?
