Very basic data blending dont work - what am I doing wrong?

Hello Looker community.

I have a very simple problem (I think).  Let's make it as simple as possible 

1) I have a Google Sheet  with 2 pages (one page per staff).  Each page has 3 columns (Date, Staff name, Sales amount).  

2) I have connected my 2 pages to my Looker Studio .  My challenge is simple:

3) I want to set up a connector where I can select the desired date

4) I want to set up a connector where I can select the desired staff

The problem is when I blend my data using the internal join operator (selecting date and staff for my dimension and sales for metrics) it just returns blank results for my 2 selectors instead of giving me choices

Any idea anyone of what I'm missing here?

Thanks in advance

Effectively, in this case you need to join the data with a union all (vertically), so you can have the filters of both table a and table b, this union all has to be done in the google sheet because looker studio does not allow it.

Of course, inside the new sheet you will find the formula that I have applied to join the data, and it only remains to connect this new sheet to the board and see the result.

This problem existed in my current work and that was the way I solved it.

I leave the link of the function for your reference: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093343?hl=en
