How do I link two data fields that aren't foreign keys to synchronize filtering?

Let's say I have two tables that look like this:

 

Sales:

IdLocationIdAmount($)DateOfTransactionYearNumberMonthNumberDayNumber
14212345.672012-10-2220121022
242234562012-11-2320121123
345987.122012-10-2220121022
4455002012-11-2320121123

 

Projections:

IdLocationIdAmount($)DateOfTransactionYearNumberMonthNumberDayNumber
142100002012-10-2220121022
242200002012-11-2320121123
345150002012-10-2220121022
44510002012-11-2320121123

 

I'd like to have two bar charts such that the numbers are initially aggregated by Location ID, which is fine. But when I drill into that Location, I want to then aggregate by Year-Month (I have a computed column that shows "2012-10" and "2012-11") then next drill-down level into the Day. I'd also like the filtering on one visualization to drive the filtering on the other visualization. This is fine for Location ID but this is problematic when I'm in a drilled-down view aggregated by Month and Day. When I click on the Month in one chart, it doesn't filter by month in the other one since these Month values are in two different tables.

 

How can I get these to drive one another?
