How to make one table's date slicer affect another table's information?

 

I have 2 tables: the larger table (L) is of the aggregate data and the smaller table (S) has more specific data. S has columns for date, user, and the number of times the user failed to log in, as S shows the the user with the largest number of failed logins for each day. With that said, there will never be a repeated day in table S. L contains data for all the logins for each day. I am creating a report that draws multiple graphs from the aggregate data (L) and want to be able to slice that data via a date slicer (which I am able to do). I also want to create cards which shows the information of S and want L's date slicer to be able to filter that out since both L and S have the same dates. However, when I try to create a relationship between the 2 tables, L's date slicer always results in (Blank) in S's cards. I've tried creating a Date table, but that also doesn't give the result I want (the cards still become (Blank) and the date table slicer has too many dates. I only want the specific dates that show up in the aggregate table).

 

Small Table Example:

Date	        User	FailedLogins
2018-06-10	Mary	3
2018-06-11	John	2
2018-06-13	Frank	4

Large Table Example:

Date	        User	OtherData
2018-06-10	Mary	…
2018-06-10	Mary	…
2018-06-10	Mary	…
2018-06-10	John	…
2018-06-10	Frank	…
2018-06-11	John	…
2018-06-11	John	…
2018-06-11	Frank	…
2018-06-13	Frank	…
2018-06-13	Frank	…
2018-06-13	Frank	…
2018-06-13	Frank	…

Are you joining these two tables on the date field?

 

If so, are they both formatted the same and set to the same datatype on the source column?

Also, in the relationship properties do you have the Cross filter direction set to single or both? If it is set to single, try setting it to both.

Thank you! Turns out the dates weren't formatted as dates, so that was the issue.
