Keep filters when selecting datapoints in different tables

Hi everyone,

 

I am making a report with the following tables:

 

ProjectList

Project IDProject nameProject Owner

1

Project XJohn Doe
Project YJane Doe

 

And

 

StatusUpdates

Project IDDateUpdate
120/11/2021Fixed issue 1
222/11/2021Fixed issue 2
121/11/2021Fixed issue 3
224/11/2021Fixed issue 4

 

The relationship between the tables filters in both directions on Project ID. If I click on project 1 in the first table, it only shows me update 1 and update 3 in the second table, which belong to this project, so this works. However, when I click the first project in the second table it shows me the related project, but the Update-table resets and it shows me all the values again (greyed out). Is there a way to keep the first 'filter' which is the one initiated by clicking a value in the first table?

 

Thanks

Hi, @Anonymous 

When you click on the data on the table, you will get the filtered data, but this is only a temporary view. Every time you click on the data, your filter conditions will be reset. This will not combine the filter conditions you have clicked multiple times. If you want to keep the previous filter, an easy way is to use a slicer.
