Filter over multiple tables

Hi!

I have two tables that are linked through a periodID. I have filters on one table but they don't apply on the other table. How do I make one selection filter for both tables?

 

I have one table unique on user per time perspective per period:

usertable.jpg 

On that table I apply my filters (on periodtype and period)

 

Then my related table is per time perspective per period:

In your data model relationship view, make sure that your filter direction is going the right way. In this case, I'd probably make sure that it is going in both directions.

Could you share the pbix file? As @Greg_Deckler suggested, you need to check the relationship between those two tables.
