Bridge table

‎07-26-2017 03:10 PM

Hi All

I'm new to Power BI and have imported these two tables from salesforce in to my model.

'Created by' and 'Sold by' columns contain people names.  I need to make a bridge table here, because the relationship between these tables is many to many.

Couldn't find a way to create the bridge table.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Zara

There may be a better way to do this, but here is what I did:

 

 

- Duplicate one of your queries (Edit Query -> right click the query from the list on the left and click "duplicate")

- Right click on the column header and select "Remove Other Columns"

- If there are null / missing values, click the small arrow on the right side of the column header and click "Remove Empty"

- Right click on the column header and select "Remove Duplicates"

 

That gives you a unique list to use as the bridge.

 

Then define two relationships, a many to one from 'Created by' to the bridge, and a one to many from the bridge to 'Sold by'.  Make sure both relationships are set to filter in both directions, and you should be good to go!
