Filtering a table on one page based on what you selected in a table on the first page

So, I have Table A that has a list of broad categories.  Table B has subsets of that data, one to many relationship. 

 

I want to be able to click on "Category 1" in Table A, and then get all the "SubCategory" entries in Table B that match what I selected in Table A. 

 

And to make it a little more difficult, I want to be able to reverse filter as well, as in clicking on Table B takes you backwards in Table A to the matching broad categories.

 

I've looked at drill-throughs, but I'm really unsure if that is the appropriate way to go with my criteria.

 

Any suggestions/help is appreciated!

Hi @Sheltomt ,

In order to better understand your demands and give the right solution, could you please provide some more specific information? such as your desensitized example data and a screenshot of your desired results?

Thanks for your efforts & time in advance.

Select one of the visuals then on the ribbon choose Format > Edit Interactions, icons will appear on all your visuals in the page choose the "graph" icon and not the crossed out circle. Select the other visual and do the same.

When I select Table A, and click on Edit Interactions, on Table A all I get is "Filters on Visual" and "Focus Mode".

I know what you're talking about, on the Slicers it has that icon.
