How to add a filter from a different data source?

Saurabh Bharadwaj Sep 24, 2012 9:29 AM

I have two data sources. Source 1 contains information like ID, Name, etc. etc. and the Source 2 contains ID, and Full Name. I have a visualization based on Source 1. How do I add a filter based on "Full Name" from Source 2 based on the IDs being the same?

Hi Saurabh,

One way to do this is by using actions. The following Kb provides instructions on how to do this:

Thanks Tracy. I has looked at the example. The difference here is that in my worksheet, I am not showing "Region/Market" on the workbook as in your example. The filter from the different data source is a behind the scenes filter.

I guess I could just do a join instead of using data blending.
