Slicer Help

I have this table:

As you can see an account will have 2 managers. They typically will be the same person if there are 2 assigned to a company, however there are instances where they are mix and matched or there's just one manager. What I'm trying to figure out is a way to build a slicer that when selecting a person's name, any account with their name on it is returned, whether they are the Flex manager, Cobra manager, or both. Is this possible? I do not want 2 slicers for each person because it splits the data out when I'm just looking for overall stats by a person's name.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Create an extra table to list all available slicer selections. Here I renamed the column with [Items]. Later, you need to add [Items] into slicer.

slicer selection =
UNION (
    VALUES ( 'sample data'[COBRA AM] ),
    EXCEPT ( VALUES ( 'sample data'[Flex AM] ), VALUES ( 'sample data'[COBRA AM] ) )
)

Then, create a measure.

flag =
IF (
    (
        IF (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'sample data'[Flex AM] )
                = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'slicer selection'[Items] ),
            1,
            0
        )
            || IF (
                SELECTEDVALUE ( 'sample data'[COBRA AM] )
                    = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'slicer selection'[Items] ),
                1,
                0
            )
    )
        = TRUE (),
    1,
    0
)

Add [flag] to visual level filters.

Hi! Thank you @v-yulgu-msft. This works perfectly except for one thing. So I keep a table of the active clients and I keep a count on the side:

As you can see its 2157. When I apply the flag, the number goes down to 1957:

When I flip it to 0 to see why this is happening, it gives me the 200 accounts that are missing. The only pattern I can see is that they are all accounts with 2 people that are the same person:

Do you know how I can fix it from here?
