toggl data from 2 tables on 1 dashboard

[Dread]

I have 2 tables, both with the exactly same column headers. Using just one dashboard i need to toggle/switch the data showed between Table1 and Table2 through a checkbox or something like that.

is this possible?

Yes, you can solve it e.g. with bookmarks, in which you show one table and hide the other table depending on the bookmark.

I already tried with bookmarks but it was not what I expected. i need to use just 1 dashboard for 2 tables. dont like to hide one and show the other.

Hi @Dread,

In this case I would need to know how far the two tables differ or how the data model and the report is structured.

If table 1 and 2 are really the same in structure, they could be merged into one table and filtered to the appropriate values via an indicator column.

Yes, Table1 (cars) have 5 column (id , owner, colour, NID, price) and Table2 (Trucks) have the same 5 column (id , owner, colour, PID, price)

Hi  @Dread ,

I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want.

1. Add a custom column in Table1 and Table2 separately as below screenshot

2. Append the Table1 and Table2

3. Create visuals

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
