Filter table from another table with multiple relationships
I need help figuring out how I can filter a FactTable with a DimTable, where one column in the DimTable is related to two columns in the FactTable.
If I filter a value in the DimTable, I want all rows in FaceTable that matches on at least one of the columns.
Example:
I create relationship between Teamleader and Person AND between Responsible and Person.
If i filter on value C DimTable, I want all rows in FactTable that has C in either Teamleader or Responsible (or both).
FactTable:
Value | Teamleder | Responsible |
10 | A | A |
10 | B | A |
5 | C | B |
20 | A | C |
20 | B | B |
15 | C | A |
DimTable:
Person |
A |
B |
C |
Thank you so much in advance!
Hi, Anonymous
Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.
Fact:
Dim:
There is no relationship between two tables. You may create a measure as below.
Visual Control = IF( MAX('Fact'[Teamleader]) in DISTINCT(Dim[Person]) || MAX('Fact'[Responsible]) in DISTINCT(Dim[Person]), 1,0 )Then you need to put the measure in the visual level filter and use 'Person' from 'Dim' table to filter the result.
Result:

Hi! I think I made my example above a little too simple. What I actually have is a FactTable with the following columns: Date, Value, ID, Teamleader, Responsible.
And I would like to create a column chart that has year and month on the x-axis. And I have the following measue as value: calculate(Distinctcount(FactTable[ID]))
How can I filter the column chart if I want to count number of ID during a month that has person A as either responsible or Teamleader?
The solution above works great when filtering a table with unique ID on each row. But when I aggregate I get problem.
Grateful for your fantastic help as always! Thanks!
Hi Allan! Thank you so much for the quick and great response! This was perfect for filtering the table just like I wanted. But, why doesnt it work when i have a colum chart visual and want to for example visualize sum of value?
Thanks again! v-alq-msft
