Filtering on attribute of 3 tier related table in Dataverse

Hi everyone,

I am trying to filter a table on an attribute which comes from a LookUp column from another table.

Abstract ERD:

In the gallery my Items are of Entity 3. Entity 2 has a LookUp to Entity 1. I am trying to filter entity 3 on an attribute of Entity 1 but I don't get any results back.

In my use case entity 1 is the contact table. Entity 2 is the clients table which retrieves full name(s) from the contact table and entity 3 is a Documents table (Progress Monitor Documents).

The following code does not return any records:

 Filter(
 'PMPP Progress Monitor Documents',
 'PMPP Client'.'Partner/Director'.'Full Name' = ComboBox1.Selected.'Full Name')

Is it not possible to filter on an attribute of a table linked two levels deep?

Hope somebody knows a workaround for this problem.

Kind Regards,

F. Verduin

It is not possible to filter on an attribute of a table linked two levels deep. You have to use the filter and Lookup function to get data from Entity 3 that are based on data from Entity 1.
