Several Sliders Filtering one table

Hi. i am trying to use the values selected in several sliders to filter one table. example.

 

Table 1 

CodeName
1A
2B
3C
4D
1A
2B

 

Table 2

CodeName
5E
6F
7G
5E
6F

 

Table 3

CodeNameLocation
1ALocation 1
2BLocation 1
3CLocation 2
5DLocation 2
6ELocation 2
7FLocation 2

 

I have created the Slider 1 with the field Table1.Code and Slider 2 with the Field Table2.Code and i need to filter the Table 3 using both values in slider 1 and 2, for example: if i selected in slider 1 = 2 and in Slider 2 = 3 i need that Table 3 only shows 2 and 3 Codes.

 

any idea?

Hi,

I am quite confused.  For your limited question/requirement, what is the use of Table1 and Table2.  Just use Table3 to build your slicer and visual.

it maybe make more sense if a show the actual data

in the image below Slicer 1 is used to filter info in Slicer 2 that at the same time filter Slicer 3 an so on.

each value in each slicer contain more detail information that doesnt fit in this page, for that reason a create another page to provide the user with those details (see image below)

but i still have some issue trying to show all the data in one page, especially because the table doesnt clean up after a select new value on the page 1 slicers

i'm looking for a better way to show those details

this is my table and relations structure. tables above contain the general information and the relation beetwen each slicers in page 1 and tables below contain the details of each value selected

my issue is that if no value is selected in the slicers all values are shown on the detail page

Hi @JoseDavidM  !

Now with your modified requirement, you will need to create a new table Table 4 by merging Table 1 & Table 2. 

You will need to connect Table 3 to Table 4 using 1-Many relationship based on [Code] Column, and set the cross filter direction to [Both].

 

You can choose filter values from Table 4.

 

Hope this will help you solve the issue.

Hi @JoseDavidM !

Please share your data model diagram how you have connected these table through relationship.

 

You can connect Table1 to Table3 using 1-Many relationship based on [Code] Column, also you need to connect Table2 to Table3 using 1-Many relationship based on [Code] Column.

 

Please check that filter direction is set to single. Hope this will solve your requirement.

Regards,

Hasham

 

Thank you for the answer, i am getting an error: "The Cardinality that you have selected is not valid for this relation"

Hi @JoseDavidM !

Table1 & Table2 doesn't hold unique [Code] values ?

No, only table 3 have unique values (my mistake)

But in the sample data snapshot you it shows repetive values for column [Code] in table3.

My mistake, check the post again
