One filtering for all visuals

I have a question.

 

Suppose that i have alot of visuals with each table as each data source (oracle database tables).

 

Every table has each columns but with 1 columns with the same value and type, let's say "Created Date" column.

 

How do i make a data filter (calendar picker input) that can be applied to every visuals that has the "Created Date" column?

 

So far, what i found is Report level filters, that can only be filled with a column of one table, but the filter doesn't work for other tables.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @deckamaha,

 

Yes. As suggested by askelton, you could create a calendar table using CALENDAR function. Since each source table has a date column, please create a relationship between calendar table with each data table. Then, add date column from calendar table into slicer as selection options, when you specify a date in slicer, all visuals will be filtered together.

Make a date table with just unique values of those dates, and then make a relationship to the other tables.

i don't quite understand by what you mean, so i have to make the relationships between the tables?
