Hi everyone,
I'm having the issue that I cannot display the data that I want, because Power BI cannot determine the relationship. I'm think it is probably caused by a many table on one end, and another many table on the other. But I would love to hear your thoughts. I cannot share data (Salesforce) because it is confidential, so I'll have to give a hypothetical case instead:
Table 1: Accounts
Table 2: Contacts
Table 3: Account Attributes
Naturally, Accounts and Contacts are related with 1:many. Then, Accounts is also related to Account Attributes with 1:many. I want to create a table visual containing Account Attribute, Account Name and Contact Name. And then, the visual crashes because Power BI cannot determine relationships.
With this table, I want to e.g. sort Accounts by Attributes and then quickly see what Contacts belong with that account, like perhaps in a matrix.
So two questions:
Hi @Paulien1989,
Yes, it looks like you are right, and the reason that the information won't display together is because of the two many-to-many relationships.
For question 1, can you display what you would like to see in the resulting table?
For question 2 - yes this is possible. You will need to go into the "Relationships" view of Power BI desktop and from there double-click on the two joins between the relationships and change the "Cross filter direction" to "Both".
Hope that helps,
Alex
