Hello,
I am trying to apply 2 filters across 2 different fields in 2 different workbooks. I cannot merge the files as they deal with seprerate data and that would not work. I need to filter by Office AND by YEAR. However when i create the relationships I cannot link these tables on multiple fields. When i then create a table to link the Office to Workbook 1 then Year from Workbook 1 to Workbook 2 this also doesn't work. I hav also tried the formula
| Workbook 1 | Workbook 2 | |||||||
| Count | Office | Year | Age | Office | Year | Leave Taken | ||
| 13987 | Front Office | 2012 | 43 | Front Office | 2012 | Y | ||
| 13989 | Front Office | 2014 | 67 | Front Office | 2014 | N | ||
| 13990 | HR | 2015 | 33 | HR | 2015 | Y | ||
| 13991 | Front Office | 2014 | 24 | Front Office | 2014 | N | ||
| 13992 | IT | 2019 | 65 | IT | 2019 | Y | ||
| 13993 | IT | 2020 | 23 | IT | 2020 | Y | ||
| 13994 | HR | 2014 | 65 | HR | 2014 | N | ||
| 13995 | Front Office | 2016 | 19 | Front Office | 2016 | Y |

@lem5072 , You can create common office and year (if needed date table) dimension and join with both tables and use those dimensions as slicer and visual along with measure from two tables
new tables
Office=
distinct(union(distinct('Table'1[Office]),distinct('Table'2[Office])))
year =
distinct(union(distinct('Table'1[year ]),distinct('Table'2[year ])))
