Link two different sets of data on different sheets to one slicer

I am building a report to show different data but for the same departments in my workplace.  I have two excel work sheets that have the different data sets on them but I would like to have just one slicer in the report with a dropdown of the departments to select. Currently I have a slicer for each set of data. How do I link the data sets to have just one slicer?

Hi @DJN2911 ,

 

As per your description, I have created two tables which have country column.


1.Create a calculated table to get the country column.

Table 2 =
DISTINCT('financials'[Country])

 

2. Create a relationship between the tables.

3. Use the fields in the calculation table as slicers.
