Dissociating/Isolating Screen Selections in different Display Tabs


I have 1 unique application with 2 data model subdivisions corresponding to separate display tabs, representing respectively International Sales and Contests. Client and Company Dimensions are in common between the 2 sets of tables.


I would like the Contest Year selection not to affect the Sales Tab data;Sales year and Contest year are different and I do not link the contest year to the Calendar.


Still  when I choose the Contest Year it modifies the Sales Data.


I think this is because it associates to a subset of the Client Dimension, the Company ID of which connects directly to the Fact table where the Sales metrics are.


Is there a technical trick to isolate the Sales part of the Data Model from the Contest Year Selection? 


Thanks

This would break QlikView functionality. However you can achieve this by both the International Sales and Contests not having any common fields that make them link.

thanks,

I sort of understand that selections are sort of like a giant query of the data model with all its connections, as viewed with Table Viewer. So logically the behaviour I describe is what QV does.

I was thinking of a trick to solve my problem, for example some particularity of set analysis that I could implement in the Contest Tab with the year list being just a pseudo to an island table or something like that.
