Filtering column in one table using values in a column in another table

[musafasih]

Hi,

I have got three tbales in my model : the Revenue Accounts, Sales Order List and Sales Order Lines. SO list is connnected to both Rev ACs and SO lines by a one to many relationship. Rev Acs and SO lines have a many to many relaironsip, hence are not connected. I want the values in SO Number column in SO lines to be filterd using values in SO Number in Rev ACs table. I have tried using query parameter but have failed. Please help.

You are going to have to provide data and expected result. You can use a TREATAS fuction to filter one column fro another for disconnected tables, but I'm not going to mock something up without understanding more of what you have and what your goal is.

HI @edhans 

Thanks for reaching out. This is what the tables looks like:

SO list table has a one-to-many relationship with both Rev Accounts table and SO lines table. I want the result such that the SO number in SO lines table is able to filter values by SO number in Revenue Accounts. Notice that there are numbers in SO lines that do not exist in Rev Accounts.

Hi @musafasih 

You could add an inactive many-to-many relationship between RA table and SO Lines table on SO number column with a Single (SO Lines filters RA) cross filter direction. Then use USERELATIONSHIP() function in DAX codes to activate this inactive relationship. 

You can also use TREATAS function to filter a table by a disconnected table in DAX codes.

Additionally, SO List table already has relationships with both RA table and SO Lines table, so actually there is a relationship between RA table and SO Lines table through SO List table. You can modify the cross filter direction of both relationships to Both, then SO Lines table can filter RA table through the relationship.
