Relationships and Power Query

[adrianonannini]

Hello,

I have a table that contains all my Sales order. The columns are pretty much what you can expect to see in a Sales table:

ID | Date | Product | Quantity | Revenue | Location Key

Then I have another table, called LocationDim. This contains all the information from my stores around the globe:

Location Key | Country | City | Store Name

Is there any way I can see the column "Country" from the LocationDim on the Sales table? 

Asking this because I'd like to create a column that works basically like: "Product_Date_Country". But as Country is in the LocationDim table, I don't seem to be able to do it.

Thank you!

Hi @adrianonannini ,

The best way to create a relationship is to select edit relationship in the powerbi desktop and then create a one-to-many relationship between the uniquely identified location key in the dim table and the location key in the sales order table.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
Henry

Hello @adrianonannini . It is possible!

In Power Query Editor go to the Sales table and use "Merge Queries" and connect to the Dimension table by the Location Key column. 

This will bring the columns from the Dimension Table to the Sales table. Then you can select the one you want to keep (Country).
