Filter from one table are empty when selecting a value from another table

Question

Hi all

I have created a data diagram that looks like this:

I have created a table with columns from both dataset 1 and 2, and it works perfectly.

Then I add columns from both datasets to a dashboard filter, and then my troubles begin… 😅

When I filter on a column from dataset 1, the filters from dataset 2 turns blank, even though there are still values from dataset 2 present in the table…?

In the example below, I filter on the line description (Beskrivelse in danish, sorry 😋). Then the column "Medarbejdernummer" from dataset 2 is present in the table, but dissappears in the filter… WHY? 😄

It's really confusing, if there is no relation between then tables in this way…

Anyone who knows anything and can explain and perhaps come up wuith a solution?

Kind regards

Anders

I have just had the patience to actually wait for the query to finish, when filtering on "Medarbejdernavn"… 😅 I have filtered on my name, so there should only be around 600 records, but I end up with a "Max Row Limit Exceeded" error message, which clearly indicates, that the connection is not there, regardless of what I would expect based on my assumptions from earlier comments:

Hi @JohnW-Oracle

Thank you for replying 😊 I have attached the session query - I'm usually okay with reading them, but this is a bit to advanced for me… 😆

Sessions_and_Query Log_lonbogsdetaljer.txt

You are right, the description ("Beskrivelse" in the picture below) and "Medarbejdernavn" are the same and I would also always prefer to filter on a name instead of a description… But right here it makes okay sense, as it is GL transactions of Salaries for employees and therefore the descriptions are only the employee name and nothing else…

I have tried to filter on the column "Medarbejdernavn" from the table "lonbog_medarbejder_info" and then all the filters from the local subject area "Financials - GL Transactions" are empty, even though there is a clear connection and data from both tables are connected and present in the data object as shown in my first post.

When I filter on "Medarbejdernavn" from "lonbog_medarbejder_info", nothing happens - the data table just keeps loading, but the filters from "Financials - GL Transactions" turns empty…

So there is a relation between the tables in the data diagram, I just only get data, when filtering on columns from "Financials - GL Transactions" and no matter what I do, once I have chosen a filter from one of the tables, I can only choose to filter on columns from that table, the rest are empty…

Any thoughts on why and what to do would be greatly appreciated 🤗

Hello @Anders W. Langholm,

I see you never received a response on this question. We would probably need to see the SQL to offer more.

In general, filtering on a Description can be problematic because they vary. It looks like your "Medarbejdernummer" column and the description column are the same thing. Do you have multiple descriptions to choose from in the filter if you select the "Medarbejdernummer" first?

The physical sql will show the join so if the problem is not with the description, that would be a good starting point.

Regards,

John
