Filtering using the same table as base

Hello To all

 

I'm trying to show in a report info that should be filter by two values that are in the same table, if I do it as it is I get zero results (which is correct).

 

How can I do this?

 

My table A is:

wid  value

1       2

2       8

3       3

4       5

5       1

 

Table B

id wid value type
1   1     2        1

2   1     4        2

3   2     5        1

4   3     3        1

5   3     9        2

6   4     8        1

 

They are linked by wid

 

and I what to have the possibility to shoe the values filter by type.

if I use type 1 in one filter and type 2 on the other

it should dispay the wid 1 and values 2 and 4.

 

Should I make auxiliary tables for each type but dinamic ones?

 

Thanks

    Hi Anonymous

     

    It seems it's better to make auxiliary tables .

      Hello v-cherch-msft


      Just did. I breaked the table B in two

       

      Table B1

      id wid value type
      1   1     2        1

      3   2     5        1

      4   3     3        1

      6   4     8        1

       

      Table B2

      id wid value type

      2   1     4        2

      5   3     9        2

       

      by using FILTER with type.

       

      But now if I link them to table A will I not get the same result? Or am I beeing a newbie.

       

      Thanks

        Hi Anonymous

         

        I reviewed your question and I think i cannot fully understand it. Why not use wid column in TableB as slicer to get it as below picture? Using type columns as slicers seems more complicated.
