Nested Data Decks not working

Hi,

I am on version 10.2.1 and using relational model.

I have created a nested data deck where users can select team and injury in data drop downs and thus relevant card is displayed.
However it doesn't appear to be working.


Is that due to my relational source as I am using union option to have option of "All Teams" and "All Injuries"?

the question also becomes that what is the best way to have multiple drop downs filter one chart.
i tried nested decks as i saw them used somewhere but i am.not sure of the best method.
i wish to have two active report data controls to change values on my chart

The trick is to use a single data deck, driven by both the team and injury variables. You can only ever display single combinations of each though.

Geat. Thank you so much MF.
this means i cannot multiselect.. but i can select one value from each drop downs which shal reflevt changes in chart for combination.
wonder why i used nested deck in the first place.
I will try with only one deck n a chart inside it.

Does that mean i can also use union query to have option of all injuries n all teams or you recon i should use default card fr all option.

You can use a union query if you really want to, but a default card is the easiest option (in my humble opinion) :)

As we've now determined you are using 10.2.1, you can replace the charts and data deck with visualizations, and have your variables filter (rather than select) the visualizations. This enables multi-select.

Cheers!
