Request for Assistance - Power BI Filter Behavior
Dear All,
I am seeking your assistance regarding a specific requirement in Power BI. I would like to achieve the following behavior in my report:
Facility Selection:
- When I select a facility from the facility slicer, I want the slicer to dynamically display all the affiliate names associated with that facility.
- Additionally, I want the data table to be filtered based on the selected facility, displaying only the relevant data.
Affiliate Selection:
- Similarly, when I select an affiliate from the affiliate slicer, I want the slicer to show the clerks associated with that specific affiliate.
- Additionally, I want the data table to fetch the corresponding data for the selected affiliate, filtering the table accordingly.
I have already established the necessary relationships between the tables, and I have attempted to configure the slicers and table interactions. However, I have not been able to achieve the desired behavior.
Could you kindly guide me on how to set up the slicers and table filters to accomplish this requirement? Any insights, suggestions, or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if you require any additional information, such as table structures, sample data, or screenshots, to better understand the issue.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards, Prasoon kumar
Hi prasoonY ,
I suggest you use the star schema (a central table with several lookup tables), cross filtering both directions works well for this schema, refer to the document:

Hi prasoonY ,
According to your description, I create a sample to test, simply change the filter direction between Data Table and Affiliate to Both, the same goes for Data table and Clerk, as show below.
I attach my sample below for your reference.
