Hello,
I am having trouble filtering data from Business Central in Power BI. I am trying to filter by departments and I have been able to filter by departments for individual expenses, but cannot figure out how to filter total expenses. I have created relation ships through G_LEntries, DimensionSet Entries, and Financial Statements and it does not seem to work. I created a relationship between Dimension Value ID and Dimensions Set ID with the DimensionSetEntreies and G_LEntries tables. Then I linked G_LEntries wiht Fianicial Statmetns through the G_L_Account_Names. I saw an example with the Chart_of_Accounts but that isn't where Im pulling my data from. With that being said I still tried to use the Chart_of_Accounts but it did not work.Any help pointing me in the right directions would be much apprieciated. Fianally, I do have a date table with the correct relation ship.
Thank you.

Hi, @FuriousDawg33
If you're trying to aggregate total costs filtered by department, you might consider using a DAX measure to calculate this value. You can refer to the following DAX
Total Expenses by Department = CALCULATE(SUM('Financial Statements'[Amount]), 'DimensionSet Entries'[Department] = "YourDepartment")
If your model needs to be filtered across multiple tables, and the filters aren't propagating as expected, look at the filter direction in the relationship. Sometimes it helps to set up a relationship with two-way filtering, but use this feature with caution as it can lead to unexpected results in complex models. More information about two-way filtering:
