Filter Fact table based on Dim table

Hello All,

 

I have the following tables,

  • Dim_PRD - Applied few filters in Query Editor
  • Fact_Finance - Create a relationship between Dim and Fact

The requirement is,

 

I need to filter the Fact table based products which are available in Dim. For example, I filter 5 products in Dim. I would like to have only those 5 products in Fact.

 

Is there any option to do this without having a calculated table?

 

Thanks,

Siva

    Thanks for the response.

     

    It works if we have a relationship between the tables and firing a query to apply the filter explicitly by adding the filter in Report.

    SivaMani You mean, you want to filter the Fact table data when you use them in the visuals (as per the products available in Dim table). Could you please post a sample data before suggesting you something.

      Thanks for the reply PattemManohar,

       

      Yes. You're right. In my case, I'm not using any field in the visual. 

       

      I have a solution that merging to tables. It is costly in my case. So looking for a better way to do this.

       

      I can't post any data here.

    Hi SivaMani,

     

    I made one sample for your reference.

     

    1. Create a measure as below and filter the fact table by the measure. make the measure is 1.

     

    Measure = IF(MAX('fact'[product]) in VALUES(Dim[product]),1,0)

     

    For more details, please check the pbix as attaced.

     

    Regards,

    Frank
