Limiting data on different levels
As soon as they clicked on that single line you will need two separate copies of your data. One that is impacted directly by the filter context (user choices) and another that is disconnected, and controlled by measure filters.
surely the item table also includes a PO number foreign key column? You should be able to use that as your filter.
Define "Select". For example if you use a matrix visual you can look at the item without having to make it a filter context. That would allow you to define its parent (the PO number) and then to look down again (its sibling items)
Thanks for your response, I'll try to better describe what's happening and what I'm trying to do.
I'm using two data queries. The first is inventory by location and the second is open inbound purchase orders to that location. The user will look at low inventory and filter down to that item/location combination. They will then want to look at the inbounds by date and see if those inbound orders need adjusted. In the picture I provided, the user identified that item AC0051 had low inventory and went to look at the inbound POs. Seeing that inbound PO 00159156 has item AC0051 on it, they would then want to see what other items are also on that PO and see if they need to adjust quantities.
"Select" means the user will have either clicked on the single line of item AC0051 in the top chart or potentially used a visualization filter to filter down to the single item. I'm only using a table visualization for both visualizations because that's the level of the data I'm trying to display, I dont need any aggregations. The data for both visualizations is at the PO/Item/Location/Date for the inbound quantity.
I'm very new to Power BI, so I'm not sure what you mean by filter context or how to define parent/siblings.
