Hello,
I have two tables - a table with a Project List and a table with a Stakeholder register and each stakeholder is aligned with multiple projects. On the stakeholder dashboard I'm trying to use a slicer with just the Project name to filter some stakeholder visuals however I'm unable to create a correct relationship between the two tables to enable this.
Table 1: Project list
Project name |
Project 1 |
Project 2 |
Project 3 |
Project 4 |
Project 5 |
Table 2: Stakeholder register
Stakeholder name | Project name |
Stakeholder 1 | [List] e.g. [Project 1; Project 4] |
Stakeholder 2 | Project 2; Project 3 |
Stakeholder 3 | Project 1; Project 2; Project 3; Project 5 |
Stakeholder 4 | Project 3; Project 5 |
I have tried the extracting values to new rows as the Project name is a SharePoint list and creating a many to one relationship between the two tables. While this works - I've also got issues as this duplicates stakeholders which messes up with the count of stakeholders etc.
I have also tried using a filter measure: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Multiple-Contains-Filters-using-Visual-Filters/m-p... however while this works for data tables I'm unable to apply it with other visuals such as column graphs, card visuals etc.
Is there a way to either generate a relationship between these two tables so the slicer works, or is there a filter measure I can apply to other visuals?
Thanks!

You've solved it already. "While this works". The problem with duplicated stakeholders is not a problem. This is how databases work. You adjust any other measures to cope with this.
Thank you! Turns out I did solve it. I just added in a calculated column flagging each unique name using this https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Need-Flag-for-every-unique-value/td-p/438947 and created a filter on the page where that column equaled to 1.
