Hi @ShivaPrasad1

 

In a simple way : 

 

I have 'A table' and 'B table'.

A table is my sales and B table is my clients

 

If I use only one direction filter from A to B, it means that if I choose a product sold in Table A, I will see the clients that bought the product in B. But if I want to choose one client in B and see what he bough for example, I can't, because I will need bi directionnal filter.

 

I hope you understand.

The best way to understand it, it's to try with data of yours.

 

And if you are wondering wich one to choose in your relation, just think about "Wich one will filter the other one ?"
