Title: Dashboard drill-through on date using a lookup reference
Post by: dropGrass on 20 Jan 2025 04:27:49 PM
Hello all,

I have a dashboard based on 4 loosely-related tables from a custom data module. Each of these tables is configured with a Lookup reference to the same Calendar table (which contains columns for year, quarter, weekday, etc.)

I'm trying to create a drill-through report that can do the following:

I'm thinking of trying a bunch of coalesced CASE WHEN filters to pass the date regardless of which table is drilled on, but I'm wondering if there's a more elegant solution. This solution would need several filters to account for the different columns referenced in the Calendar table (LongDate, Year-Quarter, Year-Month, Weekday, etc.)
