LISTS:
I have 11 SharePoint (SPO) 1-List is considered the Master. Primary ID field.
There are 10-Lists with a matching KEY field.
Several Designer Workflows work behind the scenes to sync the data.
PROCESS:
A user creates a new task in the Primary list, they select teams to assign the task too.
POWER BI:
I use ODATA to connect to the Master list due to the excessive fields/workflows. I use the SPO Connector to connect to the sub-lists. I can see all of my data.
My challenge is the relationships. The lists don’t join with ID and KEY fields. Technically I can connect 3 or 4 but connecting beyond that seems to error with a many to many relationships.
QUESTION:
Being new to Power BI and reporting, how should I proceed? I’ve read online about using the Append Query as new, then select all 10 sub-lists and chose all the fields I want to create one new list. Then it appears I create 1 connection between my master list and the one query. Is that correct or should I investigate another approach.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@TxSteve yes as best approach, you should append all the 10 lists (child lists) and it will become one big table and then link it with your master table. I would use this approach.
