Combine 3 SharePoint List into one table in Power Bi

Hi Experts!

I am new in Power Bi and will greatly appreciate any suggestion to achieve the below 🙂

 

I want to create one table in Power Bi which combines the information I have in three different SharePoint lists. 

 

The SharePoint lists do not have the same information or column, however, they share one column with an identifier I created to connect them. 

    -For SharePoint list 1 and 2, I created a column named "Identifier1" which stored an identifier (a unique number) which will connect these two SP lists. The relationship should be one to many (there will be only one item in SP list 1 which has this identifier but might be more than one item in SP list 2 with it)

    -For SharePoint list 2 and 3, I created a column named "Identifier2" which stored the identifier which will connect these two SP lists. The relationship should be one to many (there will be only one item in SP list 2 which has this identifier but might be more than one item in SP list 3 with it)

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi @vsolanon ,

 

If the "identifier 1" and "identifier 2" columns are custom columns(created in Power Query Editor), we can try to merge list 1 and list 2 based on the "identifier 1" as a new query, then merge with the list 3 based on "Identifier 3" after expand the new query. But if the three columns are created as calculated column, we suggest to convert them into custom column so that it can merge and expand easily.

 

If it does not meet your erquirement, Could you please provide a mockup sample based on fake data or describle the fields of each tables and the relations between tables simply? It will be helpful if you can show us the exact expected result based on the tables. Please upload your files to One Drive and share the link here.


Best regards,

Too little information to go on. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

 

But, in general you want to look at Append and Merge queries in Power Query. In DAX you would use things like NATURALINNERJOIN.
