Hey!
I faced this issue, when I need to compare every value from one column with every value in the second column and filter the table.. Basically I have two columns with some values:
col1 | col2 |
---|---|
val1 | vala |
val2 | valb |
val3 | valc |
... | ... |
I need to compare:
val1 with vala
val1 with valb
val1 with valc
val2 with vala
val2 with valb
and etc.
And I need to filter the table and leave only values, that are matching.
I’d appreciate your help!
You can create a dimension type yesno, and use it as filter. For example :
dimension: filter_match {
type: yesno sql: ${TABLE}.col1=${TABLE}.col2;;}

Hey! Thanks for the answer!
I guess I forgot to mentioned, that col1 and col2 are from two different views
You could to define a explore of the main view and the join with the another view. After that you could define a dimension type yesno. For example:
in the model:
explore: view_A {
join: view_B{
relationship: many_to_one
sql_on: ${view_A.????} = ${view_B.????};;
}
in the view_A:
dimension: filter_match {type: yesno sql: ${TABLE}.col1=${view_B.col2};;}
Hi @ayaroshenko
I think you could also do a custom dimension within the explore that compares the two values. Once you have a resulting column (T/F) you should be able to filter on it.
