Filter a DataSet with values from a Google Sheet?

Hello,

I have a dataset that I would like to be able to dynamically filter based on values in a Google Sheet. This feels like a fairly simple MagicETL to me but I'm stumped at the moment.

In short, the PROD dataset is good to go and I would ideally be filtering one column from the PROD set based on values in one column in a GoogleSheet.

For example:

PROD

Site A. 5,000 sales

Site B 10,000 sales

Site C 15,000 sales

Google Sheet

Site A 10,000 sales

Site C 15,000 sales

The outcome I'm hoping for:

PROD v2

Site A 5,000 sales

Site C 15,000 sales


Seems the Filter tile is the way to go but I'm thrown by the "Enter Value to Compare" field.

Thank you,

Joe

    Use a JOIN tile instead with an INNER join to join your prod and google datasets together based on your join condition. This will fitler out any records in your prod dataset which don't appear in the google spreadsheet.
