Modeling in PowerBI: Connect two tables ( Building interactive resume )

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am a student learning PowerBI by myself. I am on my way to build a resume using PowerBI. My resume dataset has two tables: Skills and Projects. 

Table Projects looks like this: 

Projects ID	Projects Name	Description
01	A	abc
02	B	xyz

Table Skills currently looks like this: 

Skills Name	Classification	Related_Projects_ ID	Order
M	Soft skill	(Project ID)	1
N	Hard skill	(Project ID)	2

Then, I met the problem that I have one skill that connects to two or more projects. I tried to add more columns in the table Skills to have more related projects ID, yet it didn't work. Can someone please advise me on this matter? 

My desired outcome is that on the dashboard, whenever we choose a skill, PowerBI will show the related project(s) where I got the specific skill(s) and vice versa. 

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try to create relationship between Related_Projects_ ID column and Projects ID column, and the cross filter direction is "Both".

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
