A user recently ran into trouble while creating a dashboard. According to them, the dashboard had about 10 cards in it. One card was powered from one dataset, another card was powered from another dataset, and then 8 cards were powered from a third dataset.
Their question: Is there a way to filter all cards by a name dimension?
They tried creating a slicer but that only worked on the dataset it was tied too. The names were spelt exactly the same across the three datasets.
Possible solutions:
- Conform column names (make sure the name column is the same in each dataset) then union all the datasets into one dataset.profit
- If the column names are the same it should still filter all of them regardless of dataset but they need to be EXACTLY the same, not like “name” vs. “Name”
- Ensure that the 'Hide date on card details' box is unchecked and then the cards should start filtering.
Huge shoutout to @trafalger and anyone else who contributed to finding a solution to this problem!
