  • 1.  Combining data from pivot tables

    Posted Tue August 31, 2021 12:21 PM
    Hi Everybody,
    I am creating report from different metrics on two pivot tables.
    How could I combine this data? I need to compare values with the same time ranges.

    Thanks!

    Hi Andrzej,

    depending on how your data is ready to be linked I suggest to use a join oir union in the queries pane:


    Keep in mind that if both queries return measure values, a join works only if both queries return data on the same grain level. You have to set the right cardinality depending on your data:

    And at least: if you need those data combined together many times I also suggest to create a Framework Manager model or a Data Module where all these data modifications take place.
