Relation  between Multiple fact tables and calendar table

Hi All,

 

I need to design the dashboard which contains 2 fact tables as 

1. ItemMovement table contains the following fields:

     StoreID

     Store_Name

     ItemID

    ItemName

   DepartmentID

   DepartmentName

   Price

   WeightSold

   QuantitySold

   Timestamp

2. Production table contains the following fields:

    StoreID

     Store_Name

     ItemID

    ItemName

   DepartmentID

   DepartmentName

   ForecastUnits

   ModifiedUnits

   Timestamp

3. Items Table:

   ItemID

   ItemNumber

 

I also need to add the calendar table. I have tried to make a relationship between the tables but not showing the data correctly.

 

Please help me how to relate the fact tables with each other

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Why you just don't merge you two fact table in one? Please refer to the post: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Join-tables-based-on-multiple-columns/td-p/277802

@Anonymous , You need to store, Item, department, and Date table.

 

Check how to create a dimension from two tables refer the file

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :
