I have the following line chart:
The x-axis is from the fact table. There are some (theoretical) categories in the dimension table that don't exist in this fact table.
The Show items with no value/calculate+0 tricks don't work because those categories are missing entirely from the data.
So I tried using the dimension table as the x-axis:
And while all the categories now show, this has created a new problem where the x-axis is not being recognised as a context filter.
There is already an active many-to-one relationship between the fact table and the dim table:
How do I resolve this issue?
Edit: feeling real silly now...I used the wrong table in the active many-to-one relationship (I have one fact table and another table that has been pivoted and transformed for event-in-progress data). I have changed it to the correct table and now it works as intended:
@bleow why the cross filter is set to both?
