Re: Filtering data from two different tables

syandamuri91 · ‎10-25-2017

Hi ,

I have 3 tables A,B,C and A and B have a relationship connecting them and B and C are also connected. But when I use column in a slicer from table A over to filter table C data, It is not filtering.

I have tried and column from B in the slicer is filtering for both the tables A and B individually.

So the relationship is like A--many to one-->B<--many to one--C

A can filter B , B can filter A ,C and C can filter B

but A is not able to filter C or vice versa.

Is there anyway to solve this issue?

Thanks.

You can achieve this by changin relationship Cross Filter Direction, change it to Both as shown below.

Apparently I had old info. Every day you learn something new is a good day. 🙂

This is expected behavior, filter contexts only propagate in the one to many direction. There are always solutions, the best one usually being remodeling your data into a Star schema using Power Query. More specific advise would require more details on your data model.
