Comparing two fact tables
Hi TonyBI ,
Here's the thing, If we put Item column in Legend field then the Values field can contain only one column. So generally, we need to union these two table as one.
My advice is to create a calculated table with below formula then create a measure and add it to visual filter to judge if the item is selected.
Table = UNION('Item table','Refernce table') Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('union'[Item]) in VALUES('Item table'[Item])||SELECTEDVALUE('union'[Item]) in VALUES('Refernce table'[Item]),1,0)Here's the result and the slicers are from two different fact tables.
Pbix as attached.

TonyBI , Need more information. You can create common dimensions. Like item
Item = distinct(union(all(Table1[Item]),all(Table2[Item]))).
Join both tables and use them.
Also, create a common date dimension

Amitchandak, thx for your reply! unfortunately this is not what Im looking for, because the problem is that the tables contains so many items that mergin them is ok, but then select a small number is a pain. I can build a dimension table but item and reference tables have diferent grouping columns. Here is an example:
Item table:
Item Day Value A 1 12 A 2 31 A 3 23 A 4 12 A 5 31 A 6 42 A 7 10 A 8 40 A 9 53 A 10 50 A 11 36 B 1 40 B 2 10 B 3 34 B 4 30 B 5 23 B 6 4 B 7 34 B 8 54 B 9 89 B 10 56 C 1 74 C 2 42 C 3 45 C 4 69 C 5 47 C 6 55 C 7 45 C 8 40 Refernce table
Item Day Value Refrence 1 1 7 Refrence 1 2 26 Refrence 1 3 18 Refrence 1 4 70 Refrence 1 5 34 Refrence 1 6 65 Refrence 1 7 87 Refrence 1 8 12 Refrence 1 9 33 Refrence 1 10 22 Refrence 1 11 31 Refrence 2 1 45 Refrence 2 2 67 Refrence 2 3 54 Refrence 2 4 25 Refrence 2 5 18 Refrence 2 6 -1 Refrence 2 7 29 Refrence 2 8 49 Refrence 2 9 84 Refrence 2 10 51 Refrence 2 11 69 Refrence 2 12 37 Refrence 2 13 40 Refrence 2 14 64 Refrence 2 15 42 Refrence 2 16 50 Refrence 2 17 40 Refrence 2 18 35 Expected result:
Result
I can do this by mergin item and reference fact tables, but the problem is that I want to be able to select an item from its own dimension table, and a reference from its own reference dimension table (this is a must because of the amount of items and references, and because of the many different grouping that this two dimensions tables have).
Little example for dimension tables:
Item dimension:
Item Colour Shape Country A Blue Square Argentina B Red Triangle Brasil Reference dimension:
Reference Size Weight approved Refrence 1 Big Light Yes Refrence 2 Small Heavy Yes Thx!!
