Table Visualization / Filtering / Relationships
- 5 years ago
Hi kotarosai ,
Please allow us to confirm whether our understanding is correct.
Do you want to click on the field in the left table, and then want to filter on the right table?
For example, you click the McAllen in Current Month BIS, then filter the McAllen in Current Month Sales.
If your left table visual using the data in Benefits table and your right table visual using the data in Sales table, the two tables visuals will not filter each other, because the relationship arrows are not in the same direction.
Maybe you can use the Account name in Account table, the relationship is only passed in the direction of the arrow, please refer the following sample.
The following screenshot, the right table cannot be filtered, because the two table visual use their own data.
The following screenshot, we use the name in Table, then the right table will be filtered.
If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please provide a mockup sample based on fake data or describe the fields of each tables and the relations between tables simply?

Hi kotarosai ,
If you want to filter table 2 with table 3, there are two ways.
1. Table visual on the right also uses the name field in Table.
2. Or we can change the relationship between Table and Table 3 to both.
If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

kotarosai Would need to see the relationships in model view. Sample data would be great to mock it up.

Sure thing Greg_Deckler , I don't have sample data but the relationship modeling looks like the below:

kotarosai , Account is a common table it should filter both tables. Now if you do not want both tables(Visual) to interact. You can stop interaction Or Take a date from those tables. Do not take a common date.

Thanks amitchandak, any reason why it would not be filtering both tables?

kotarosai Those relationships look legit. Unless, you have timestamps in one of those columns but your date table only has dates and then nothing would match and maybe it would act this way?

Thansk Greg_Deckler, nope. No timestamps for either of the columns being referenced by the date table, which I guess which is why the date filter is the only thing working at this moment.
