    Thanks for the reply from Tahreem24 , please allow me to provide another insight:

    Hi  Julia2023 ,

    I created some data:

    Table1:

    Table2:

    Here are the steps you can follow:

    1. Create calculated column.

    Create a calculated column for each table to represent the name of the current table.

    NAME = "Table1"

    2. Click Q&A visual.

    3. When you enter a Value, it will automatically display which table it is in, and when you click on a table, it will display the information of that row only.

    4. If you want to display the searched values in more than one table, you can create a search summary table containing all the searched information.

    Create calculated table

    search_table =
    UNION(
        'Table1','Table2')

    5. Result:

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Liu Yang
