I have below two tables:
Visual 1 - Table 1 (Permissions table)
Desc: Shows what permissions exist for each group)
| CompanyFolder | Permission | Group |
| C1 | RWX | GP-C1-Admin |
| C1 | RWX | GP-C1-Developer |
| C1 | R | GP-C1-Analyst |
| C2 | RWX | GP-C2-Admin |
| C2 | RWX | GP-C2-Developer |
| C2 | R | GP-C2-Analyst |
Visual 2 - Table 2 (GroupMember table)
Desc: Group-Member is Many-to-Many association. Each group can have multiple members. Each member can be part of multiple groups.
| Group | Members |
| GP-C1-Admin | Scott |
| GP-C2-Admin | Scott |
| GP-C1-Developer | Tom |
| GP-C2-Developer | Tom |
| GP-C1-Analyst | Matt |
| GP-C2-Analyst | Matt |
| GP-C1-Developer | John |
Question:
I have two visuals in my PowerBI report with each visual showing data from above tables. If I filter for a specific member in Visual 2, I want Visual 1 to reflect to show only those permissions that exists for the selected member.
Ex: Let's say I filter for "Scott" in Visual 2, I want Visual 1 to look like below:
Visual 2
| Group | Members |
| GP-C1-Admin | Scott |
| GP-C2-Admin | Scott |
Visual 1
| CompanyFolder | Permission | Group |
| C1 | RWX | GP-C1-Admin |
| C2 | RWX | GP-C2-Admin |
P.S.
Table 1->Table 2 is a many-to-many relationship. But I CANNOT JOIN them together to create a single view because the data is very huge (~1billion rows) and PowerBI is stuck during refresh if I do that.
Looking for alternative suggestions! (Can I apply drilldown or multi column filters on multi-visuals?)
Thanks in advance!
@anuraagmucherla , You need to create common dimensions and join both tables with them. And use those in visuals and filters. As the tables are big, better to bring those from the source.
