Filter from different tables and data

[vutruong]

I have two data uploaded to BI desktop, they have the same two columns of "Region" and "Area" which have the same content in there, but the number of rows and the content from other columns are different.

What I want is that when I select/filter in "Region" and "Area" columns from Table 1, it also automatically happens in Table 2. For example, I select "Central South" in "Region" column and "Central 1" in "Area" column, then it will be automatically chosen from "Region" and "Central 2" from table 2.

Can you please help how to do it. Thank you.

Hi @vutruong,

The simplest way is create relationship between these tables and setting 'cross filter direction' to 'both'.

After you create relationships, filter effect will apply on all visuals.(notice: visual level filter only works on current visual, it not interacting with other visual)

You can only set ONE relationship to active and because of that only one filter can apply to multiple visuals.
