How can I use one input to filter another input?

My workflow has two (2) data inputs.  Call them Input A and B.

 

First, I extract (using filters) a list of program IDs from input A.  

 

How can I, without exporting and re-importing, use the filtered list from Input A to filter Input B?

perhaps I'm missing something here, but if you want to use the output of input A to filter input B, that's a typical join. Everything from your "J" output would be every Input B record that contained the matched value from Input A. in this situation you don't need to actually output any of the fields from input B if all you want to do is filter input B.

Doh!  Sorry, brain failure.

Same question but without the join. I have a Google Sheets input with dynamic values. I want those values to then be used in the WHERE clause of an SQL query within an Input tool. I could use a join, but the size of the query is very large if I don't restrict it first.

 

It's almost like using interface tools, but instead of an interface tool, another input tool provides the input.
