Hi @Muralisagar

As @mceleavey mentioned chaining apps is the way to go. Here is a weekly challenge that is similar to your use-case

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Weekly-Challenge/Challenge-218-Car-Sales-Reporting/td-p/580155

These resources should help to give you an idea.

The way chaining works is you select an option in the first app based on that option shown in the second app changes. And since it's chained 2nd app pops up after you make a selection in the first app and creates a sequence.

You can use this guide to downgrade workflow files if needs https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/Making-Workflows-Apps-amp-Macros-Backwards-Compatible/ba-p/779546

Hope this helps 🙂
