Does a slicer work even if I'm using a sub dataset?

Zel

Hello. Hope someone can enlighten me or help me if there's a solution for this:

I need to use one slicer for my dashboard, which contains like 16 cards. The slicer should be able to filter all cards in that dashboard.

Here's my problem:

1. I'm using three datasets for the cards in the dashboard:
   1. Main Dataset - let's name this as: UML
   2. Sub dataset1 - let's name this as :1st attempt
   3. Sub dataset2 - let's name this as : last attempt

We used ETL to come up with these 2 sub datasets (1st and last attempt). We needed to use ETL for the 2 sub datasets since beast mode is not a possible solution for the required outputs for them.

Input Dataset used for both ETL is UML (main dataset).

The slicer will filter your dataset if the field being used on the slicer exists in your dataset. As long as your subset dataset have the same field name that you're filtering it should work for you.

Hello @GrantSmith , follow up question: What if the slicer that I am using for the scenario above is a beastmode field? Will it still work for all subsets?

GrantSmith

If the beast mode is saved to the dataset on all of the subsets with the same name then it should work.

Got it, thank you so much!
