Create a relation with a intermediate column name

[vickyArce]

Hi,

I have a table, with some formating(Groupby and Transpose) in power query, I lost the column that I need to create a relationship with, so the cross filtering is not working on the new formatted table.

Is there a way to create a relation with a intermediate column name? Or another solution?

Or maybe there is a way to do the group by and pivot on a visual instead of doing it in power query?

Thank you

Thank you for your reply, finally I found a way to do it in Matrix, and it worked out perfectly.

The original table:

Furnace	Number	SumEntrant	SumEntrantDRI	SumEntrantScrap	SumEntrantAlloys	SumModifiant
B	1	165.6	114.7	0.0	10384.0	-6.1
A	2	181.1	83.7	0.0	10954.3	0.1
A	3	175.6	81.0	0.0	10133.3	0.1
B	4	171.9	65.1	0.1	2569.5	0.1
A	5	179.0	140.2	0.0	1561.0	1.6
B	6	184.3	134.1	0.0	7449.0	1.5
A	7	180.2	127.9	0.0	9721.0	1.5
A	8	180.7	129.1	0.0	10573.0	1.5
A	9	171.0	115.7	0.0	11560.0	1.4
B	10	180.4	129.5	0.0	10092.0	1.5
B	11	173.4	117.9	0.0	10602.0	1.4

 I needed to group by the Furnace label, and summarize all the columns, and then pivot the table to this format:

Furnace	A	B
SumEntrant
SumEntrantDRI
SumEntrantScrap
SumEntrantAlloys
SumModifiant

I was able to do all those formattings in power query, but the problem is at the end, I lost my Number column, on which I use the crossing filtering  through table relationships.

Hi @vickyArce ,

You can duplicate a query table and do unpivot column on it(keep furnace and types), then use this table as bridge to link two tables.(furnace to original furnace field, furnace type to furnace table)

Unpivot columns (Power Query)
