Table problem

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I have a small problem on Power BI: I want to create three new filters with buyers, project managers, and one on requesters. However, in my table, I only have the IDs of these people and it makes no sense for my search. Let me explain: I have a 'UsersInformations' table with in it a list of names associated with an ID, and in the 'Prep_budget' table (the one I use to filter my tables) I only have the IDs of These persons. I can't get it to be the names that I see when scrolling my filter and not the IDs... do I have to create a new column?

Thanks !

You May merge the two columns (ID and the Names), I guess it would help!

Hi @AhmadMaksoud , thank you for your answer but it does not work...

[AhmadMaksoud]

let me get it clear! do you have two columns one with ID and another one with the related name? 

or you don't have the names at all?

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear earlier... I'll try to explain myself better! So basically, I have two tables: one with the user information 'UsersInformation' (so it is in this table that the two columns Name and ID are located) and a second with only the IDs For example: I have a “food security” project. I associate three people: a project manager whose ID is 212, a buyer whose ID is 216 and a customer whose ID is 328. Now we make the link with the second table 'user info ' which associates each ID with a name. So ID 212 = Monsieur Quoi, ID 216 = Monsieur Bidule and ID 328 = Monsieur Truc (you should know that a buyer can also be a customer, a customer can also be a project manager... In short, we can find names in several columns). So going back to my problem, when I apply my filters, I only have numbers (so 216, 212, 328...) and what I want is the list of names.
