Filters with multiple tables

[#1]

Hi, I am currently using filters for things such as product category. However, the data that I am filtering from has multiple tables(by region) with the same column names. I would like to apply the filter to all visualizations in the page, regardless of which table each visualization pulls data from. Is this possible? Ideally, I would prefer not to join the tables together, but am open to any suggestions.

ie

If(WildMatch([Region1$.Segment],

'*Name1*',

'*Name2*',

'*Name3*',

'*Name4*'), 'Unit1')

However, I would like to filter Region1$.Segment as well as Region2$.Segment

Thank you very much!

If those tables are properly associated with each other in the data model then selections will propagate over all those tables. Every object in your document will directly reflect your selections.

If that doesn't happen then either your data model is wrong or you have very good reasons to have tables that are totally unrelated to each other. In that case you need to use dark gray magic to make a selection in a field of one table apply in a field in another table too.

The dark gray magic is called Select in Field actions. Actions can be assigned to buttons and text boxes and triggers. You can find the triggers on the Triggers tab in the Document Properties window.

Hi Gysbert,

Currently, I have have filters using wildmatch which are looking within a specific column and a specific table. These tables are separated for good reason, but I would like to be able to apply these filters to the same column and multiple different tables.

Do you think you could help me better understand how to use the select in field actions for this purpose? Thank you so much for your help!

@Gysbert_Wassenaar  are you sure that is a Qlik Sense feature?  I am not seeing anything like that in the properties of a qlik sense filter...  if it is for qlik sense, can you give some point us in the right direction, on where and how this would be set up, in a qlik sense filter?
