I have a table with 3 fields: Installer 1, Installer 2, Installer 3.
There are 20 installers that can be assigned. Most often they are only one installer assigned. Sometimes, they need more than one.
So Joe might be installer 1 on one record but installer 2 in another record, installer 3 on another.
I need a slicer to search on all the Installers for Joe. I need to know where Joe is assigned now no matter which Installer he is.
I created a new field to concatenate all the Installers and then do a search but it's not very elegant. Looking for a better solution.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous
I would recommend that you create a table which unpivots the Installer names into a single column, along with a column containing the identifer of the original record (I'm assuming a Job ID of some sort). You can also include a "Role" column. Something like this:
Job ID | Name | Role |
Job01 | Joe |
Installer 1 |
Job01 | Hannibal | Installer 2 |
Job01 | Harry | Installer 3 |
Job02 | Joe | Installer 1 |
Job03 | Mason | Installer 1 |
Job04 | Frederick | Installer 1 |
Job04 | Joe | Installer 2 |
This table is then related to the original table on the Job ID column, either directly or via an intermediate table containing unique Job IDs (if necessary), The relationship with the above table would need to be bidirectional.
Then you can search/filter on the single Name column.

Yes. That worked perfectly. Thanks.
