Filters Not Working - 3 tables

I think I'm just tired tonight because I know I've done this before, but I have 3 data tables (+calendar & type tables). I have linked the tables thorugh a relationship with the calendar table and "type" table, and can filter by type/date, but I also want to be able to filter by shipped or received. Currently when I add the filter for direction, only the table the filter is coming from will change. I tried appending the data but then I can't get it to split apart correctly in the visual. 

 

My columns in all 3 data tables are date, source, type, direction (ship or receive), units. 

 

Example of one: 

DateSourceTypeDirectionUnits
1/1/24OnlineSmallIn10
1/1/24RetailMediumOut20
1/2/24

Online

MediumOut30
1/2/24StoreSmallIn15

 

 

 

 

  • Hi LCook ,

     

    Taking into account what you refer you need to also have a dimension table for the Direction with the values In / Out and then relate with the 3 tables that will create a start schema for each table that will allow you to filter all of them at once has you do for the calendar.
