Key values in one cell.

[alleckii]

Hi,

I would like my dashboard to have the option to select specific values from one table, based on the relationship with the other table. The problem is that in the table that the filter is supposed to go after, the keywords in some rows occur after a comma:

Filter table:

ID	Description
CS1.01	....
....	....
CS1.10	....
CS2.01	....
....	...
CS6.10	....

The table by which I want to filter

ID	Name	Price	CODE
1	....	....	CS2.05, CS2.07
2	....	....	CS1.01,  CS1.02,  CS1.04,  CS1.04,  CS1.05,  CS1.06,  CS1.07,  CS1.08,  CS1.09, CS2.03
3	....	....	CS2.01
....	....	....	CS3.10, CS5.05
45	....	....	CS4.08, CS5.04, CS5.09

Is it possible that by selecting an item such e.g. CS1.05 in the first table, I will get all the rows containing this code from the second table, or is the data badly designed?

Thanks for help!

@alleckii Ha! I missed that, you don't need to create a relationship but you can use the solution provided in one of my 1st videos here. https://youtu.be/zS1IDl3DLak

@alleckii the best practice would be to split your table by comma on rows in PQ and then you don't need to anything extra and it should work.

@parry2k Are You sure thath will work? I tried to do it this way, but the relationship between the tables did not allow to select after several columns. When I wanted to select CS1.01, only the rows that had this code in the column followed by the active relationship with the first table were selected.
