I think you are right, alternate states is probably a good solution in this case.

Hi,

I have an issue here,
I have copied filters two times, one for left side and other for right side like below

Charts on left have Group1 alt state, on right have group2 alt state and for sheet I have given action as select matching values in filed , filed as Period, and in value given "Last 2Weeks"
But it's not filtering out last two weeks in Tab container chart , it's giving all the dates
at top it's showing like in below picture but in tab container showing values for all dates not for Last 2 weeks

Please help
Thanks

Hi,

Please check if period filters are also present in alternate states that you created.

If you have a filter that is not in any of the states (itäs in the default state) and you want it to apply to both charts, you need to reference it as the defualt state using set expression in the charts. See this: https://qlikboard.com/2012/12/04/set-analysis-alternate-states-quick-tip/
