EDIT: Solution found.

Turns out the relations were set to Cross filter direction: Single on all relations (and the one from Month table.Month to A.Month was not set to active).

Setting Cross filter direction: Both fixed the problem.

I have four tables A, B, Month table and Quarter table

A has a column A.Month, and many other columns with irrelevant data

B has a column B.Quarter, and many other columns with irrelevant data

Month table has columns Month table.Month and Month table.Quarter

Quarter table has a column Quarter table.Quarter

One to many relations are shown as this: "<"

Quarter table.Quarter < Month table.Quarter as there are multiple (3) months in one quarter

Month table.Month < A.Month as there are several rows of data for each month

Quarter table.Quarter < B.Quarter as there are several rows of data for each quarter

Here is a visualisation of the relations

enter image description here

On my dashboard, I have a visual for A, and a visual for B

What I'm trying to do is to apply a page level filter with Month table.Month, thinking that therefore, A should only show data for whatever month/months are selected in the filter, and B should show the data for the corresponding quarter/quarters.

  • Filter to January

    Expectation:

    • A shows data for January
    • B shows data for Q1

    Reality:

    • A shows data for all months
    • B shows data for all quarters

  • Switch page level filter from Month table.Month to Quarter table.Quarter and set filter to Q1

    Expectation:

    • A shows data for January, February and Mars
    • B shows data for Q1

    Reality:

    • A shows data for all months
    • B shows data for Q1

What am I missing?

    $\begingroup$ I tried to do that initially when I posted this but it wouldn't let me. Now I tried to undelete my old comment and it now suddenly let me mark my own answer as the solution. $\endgroup$
