Match date field selection to attributevalue values.

Lets say you have a field called Sale Year.  You pull it into an application as a normal transactional field, but you also pull it in via a crosstable.  So "Sale Year" is a value under "Attribute" field.  And "2015" is the value tied to "Attribute Value" field.

When I select "2015" for Sale Year in my global listbox, it filters all the normal fields correctly but it still includes attribute values of 2014, 2016, 2017, etc within the attribute list.  Obviously there is a linking issue with the crosstable data---just looking for general suggestions on how to approach cleaning this up and getting only 2015 dates to show when i display attribute values.

Some sort of code that says "If Sale Year selected = 2015, also select AttributeValue=2015" ?  Or something like that?

Does this even make sense what I am trying to do?

How's your data model looks like? What is the script you using to pull this SaleYear?

Sorry everyone.  I think I am explaining this wrong, and i cant attach the application for confidentiality reasons. 

When dealing with crosstable data, (which is separated into 2 fields, Attribute Type and Attribute Type Value) , i cant "filter" on a specific Attribute value without it either automatically selecting every other related Attribute Value OR getting rid of the other Attribute Types i have checked/selected.

When i filter on the normal date field SALE YEAR, like in a listbox or multi-box, it behaves normally.  But if I try to click "2015" in my "Attribute Value" field, it does not filter by list of crosstable data for just the records where Attribute Value (Sale Year) = 2015

Ugh, this is a mess.

sorry for the confusion.
