filter table based on multiple relationships

Hi,

I am trying to create a report based on Dynamics365 data. The issue I am experiencing is the following:

I want to create a report that shows the accounts and opportunities based on the City that is selected in a slicer. The account can have mulitple addresses defined: Post adress or visit adres for example. Now I would like to filter the report but it should filter based on both addresses. For example: When I select a city the accounts with either a visit adres or post adress should be shown in the table of the report. 

Because there are two columns with an address id (Address1 and address2) I have created two relationships. Does anybody know how to create one slicers that checks both addresses and show the correct data?

 

Thank you in advantage!

    Hi Jorenvdl ,

     

    Well, you can create a slicer using your address id. What you need to pay attention to is the flow of your relationship. As shown in the figure below, table B flows to table A, and then the address id of table B is used as the slicer. If the address id of table A is used as the slicer, the address id of table A will not filter the address id of table B.

     

    I have attached my sample pbix, you can download it and test it.

      Hi Anonymous ,

      I am sorry for my delayed response and thank you for your answere. It helped met finding the right direction. I have managed to solve this problem by creating one table with all the adresses. In this table I created a column "ParentId" and created a relationship to the accounts table.

       

      Thanks again for you help!
