Same metric from two diff table in QnA
I am adding a QnA functionality in my dashboard where users can ask questions as per there requirement.
I have a situation where I have one metric named "Revenue Own" in table A as well as in table B. So when I am posting a question "Revenue Own by countries in 2024", its retunring data from table A, maybe its going in order and fetching the data.
But my requirement is that either it should show Revenue Own from both table or show revenue own from table B.
Is there any way to customize our selection or get data as per our req.
Any suggested ideas to show both Revenue Own in one view or anything like that would help.
Thanks
Hi ,
Unfortunately, Q&A doesn't support prioritizing a specific table unless the model is designed with clear naming or relationships.To solve this, consider renaming the measures to make them unique (e.g., “Revenue Own A” and “Revenue Own B”) or create a unified table or calculated table that combines both metrics, so Q&A pulls from a single source. You could also create custom synonyms in the Q&A setup to guide it toward the desired field. This gives you more control and lets users get the right data when they ask questions.

Hello poojag820
It will work in same way
What your can do rename metrics

Alternative way you can union both table if business logic allows you

User would not know which is A or B, they would just need revenue own and would expect result from table B. Also I cannot union these table as Revenue Own from table A has diff values than Revenue Own from Table B.

okay if table A revenue is not used you can exclude that from filter
