I have 2 datasets in a VA report. Both should be controlled by a date slider and drop-down list. The slider is using the first dataset ReportMonth column and the drop-down list is using a column in the first dataset. How can the second dataset relate to the both columns? what I meant is if I select a different range of report months and a different value from the drop-down list, all objects using either dataset would change. Thanks.

If you create a data mapping between the data sources, the controls should filter both of them.

An alternative to what Sam recommends is the usage of a dummy data set.
This could be as simple as number 1 to 25, one variable therefore.
To this dummy table loaded to VA you apply customized categories.
Imagine you'd like to filter both tables by continent.
So define 5 customized categories Europe, Asia...
Attach a parameter to the drop down list where you use the customized category.
Once selected the parameter holds this value and can be used to filter the target tables. Use advanced filters like equal or within and compare against the parameter.
