Data model question

[ignas]

Hello

I would like to hear your best practise dealing with such data model.

• I have dimCustomer table which connects fact_open and fact tables.

I want to show in the report only those customers that have "amount" from "fact_open table". That mean the filter should only show only those names that have amount non blank:

What would be the best practise?

How can I achieve the result?

@ignas,

You can create a column in dimcustomer table using DAX below. Then drag the column to page level filter and set its value to "Not blank".

checkColumn = COUNTROWS(RELATEDTABLE(fact_open))

Hi @ignas

You can acheive to display only the non blank by using the visual filter, without any complex options

Hello @affan

Unfortunatelly this does not do any changes to the filter.

I need to see in the filter only those customers that have no amount in fact_open.

Any thoughts?

As filtering the slicer is not directly available as of now. However you can use the workarround used in the below illustration to acheive the result.

I cannot change from single to both, because I will have data model issues with other dimensions. For example if I have customer both relationship then what I can do if I need to use data filter? Data filter again will show all possible dates.

It must be another solution related with structuring data model in another way.
