Hi there,
I will be grateful for an idea of how to make a time (Year) filter from the data (Main Table), where the data for the corresponding year is stored in the columns:
| Item1 | Item2 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 |
| AAA | AA | ||||||||
| BBB | AA | ||||||||
| CCC | BB |
My target:
1. I created a new "Year Table" with a single column (Year) and appropriate years data there (2015-2022) based on the Main Table columns.
2. I got stuck in creating a relation with the Main Table data (year defined by column), where:
Selection (slicer, measurements, ...) of the Year Table will get the exact Year from the Main Table.
Thx for your help.
J.
