Filter Doesn't Works
This can be a number of things.
- You have blank values it seems in your DIM table. That is never good. You shouldn't have data in your FACT table not in your DIM table unless you intend to, and then you will be using different measures for calculating values, and you cannot use filters/slicers efficiently since those don't exist in the DIM table.
- Could be spelling differences, or spaces. Is it "Shopping" in one table and "Shopping " in your other table?
- I am not clear on how that bi-directional many-to-many is affecting the model for these particluar fields.
There could be other issues too. Without the PBIX, just tossing out things for you to look at.
Your FACT table isn't (shouldn't) be filtering your DIM tables. You need to put your Store ID from the DIM table it is in. Never use fields in your FACT table for filtering, slicing, etc. In fact, I generally hide all fields in the FACT table not directly used for reporting, and that is usually just text fields. Any numerical fields I convert to an explicit measure to prevent any implicit measures. Then I hide all of the numerical fields.
The same is true when using the dimension table ID_Store. The problem is not there.
I really don't know what's going on here. The problem does not seem to be exactly with the filter. Look at these tables:
table 1 is the Operation (dimension table) and the store id (fact table). Table 2 contains only the operation (dimension table). Although in table 1 there are stores with the classification "shopping", this option does not even appear when I select only the type of operation in another table.I'd need to see an image of the model and prefereably a link to a PBIX file. Screenshots of slicers and visuals dont' really tell me how they are connected.
I cannot send the file because this data is confidential. But here's the model. (id_etb_gcom = Id_loja)
