Hello everyone,
I am quite new on PowerBi but despite some hours of youtube tutoriel and reading on the net, I can't manage to join my two tables in Power BI..
I would really appreciate if someone could help me 🙂
Let me explain:
I have a 1st table (invoice database) with invoice where I have 1 line = 1 invoice with:
- salesman name (A, B, C, D, E, G) - here the salesman "G" is not in the budget table
- product name (Pdt1, Pdt2, Pdt3, Pdt4, Pdt 6) - here the Pdt 6 is not in the budget table
- sales (in value)
- quarter
My second table with the budget where I have 1 line = 1 quarterly budget per product per salesman with:
- salesman (A, B, C, F) - here the "F" salesman is not in my invoice database
- product name (Pdt1, Pdt2, Pdt3, Pdt4, Pdt 5) - here the Pdt 5 is not in the invoice database
- quarter
- Budget (in value)
How do I join those 2 tables to get:
per salesman (A, B, C, D, E, F and G) and per product name (Pdt1, Pdt 2, Pdt 3, Pdt 4, Pdt5 and Pdt 6) the sales realized and budget per quarter ?
(I can't manage to have the full list of salesman + the full list of product name with the correct allocation of both sales & budget)
Thank you very much for you help!

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Alex_192
as far as I can see you have two fact tables with different values.
What you need are two more dimension tables.
The first one is a table with all salesmen and the second one with all products.
Connect BOTH with BOTH fact tables salesmen <-> salesmen and product <-> product
You should now be able to use salesmen from your dimension table as your category for visuals and the same with products.
Hello Spuder,
Thanks for your prompt answer !
How would you connect those dimension table with the "invoice" and "budget" table, I probalby misunderstood something as I am creating a loop (one with salesmen one with product) between invoince and budget table
Thanks
Alex
At the beginning just create two tables.
DimSalesmen
[Sales Member]
Salesman a
Salesman b
Salesman c
...
DimProducts
[ProductName]
Product a
Product b
Product c
...
Both tables only have one column.
Now create a relationship between The Column [ProductName] in DimProducts and the Product Columns in the existing fact tables. Do the same with Salesmen.
Now create a matrix visual and set [ProductName] column to Rows and [Sales Member] Column to rows, too.
Voila
Perfect thank you it works!
