Filter by another field

Dear community,

 

How can I filter a given field by the selected value of another field?

I have a kind of hierarch that tells me what I produced of a given stock (let’s call the fields “component” and “product”). It is a many to many relation (many component produced to many products), and there can be more than 10 steps.

What I would need is a “button” that takes the selected value of the stock ID of the components selected on the visual, and adds it somehow to a filter, that filters the product (changing the given filter criteria), so I can drill down in this hierarch (and an other button in the opposite direction).

 

Thanks Dlmsbi

    By linking the fields' tables in the data model in a way that the other field's table influences the table of your field.

      Then it will filter automatically unless you have disabled visual interaction.

    What I actually need is a special slicer, that saves the selected values of one column to a parameter table, and then resets filters, and filters the other column by the parameter table.
