Filter two unrelated tables simultaneously

[rkaul]

I have two unrelated tables - 'Member order' table which has order info of all the orders placed by the members with order_date and 'renewal payment' table which has information on membership payment done by the members (not order payment) with payment_date. Both tables have dates (order_date and payment_date respectively) ranging from 1st Jan 2018 to present. I want to create a filter which can filter the information in both the tables simultaneously. At present, I have to create a separate date slicer for both tables separately. Is it possible to have just one filter e.g. if I ask user to enter a date range of 1st Aug to 31st Aug 2019, then it should filter information between those date ranges in both the tables?

Hi @rkaul 

you need to create a date table.

Then relate the date column to the relevant date(s) in your tables.

Create a filter/slicer from the date column/date table.

Enjoy!

can you elaborate on which relationship I should create after creating the new date table? I'm new to PowerBI.

Hi @rkaul 

As mentioned.

Take the date column from the date table. 

Connect it with the date column(s) from your tables. i.e with payment_date & order_date.

Cheers!
