Create a relation with a intermediate column name
Hi,
I have a table, with some formating(Groupby and Transpose) in power query, I lost the column that I need to create a relationship with, so the cross filtering is not working on the new formatted table.
Is there a way to create a relation with a intermediate column name? Or another solution?
Or maybe there is a way to do the group by and pivot on a visual instead of doing it in power query?
Thank you
Thank you for your reply, finally I found a way to do it in Matrix, and it worked out perfectly.

The original table:
Furnace Number SumEntrant SumEntrantDRI SumEntrantScrap SumEntrantAlloys SumModifiant B 1 165.6 114.7 0.0 10384.0 -6.1 A 2 181.1 83.7 0.0 10954.3 0.1 A 3 175.6 81.0 0.0 10133.3 0.1 B 4 171.9 65.1 0.1 2569.5 0.1 A 5 179.0 140.2 0.0 1561.0 1.6 B 6 184.3 134.1 0.0 7449.0 1.5 A 7 180.2 127.9 0.0 9721.0 1.5 A 8 180.7 129.1 0.0 10573.0 1.5 A 9 171.0 115.7 0.0 11560.0 1.4 B 10 180.4 129.5 0.0 10092.0 1.5 B 11 173.4 117.9 0.0 10602.0 1.4 I needed to group by the Furnace label, and summarize all the columns, and then pivot the table to this format:
Furnace A B SumEntrant SumEntrantDRI SumEntrantScrap SumEntrantAlloys SumModifiant I was able to do all those formattings in power query, but the problem is at the end, I lost my Number column, on which I use the crossing filtering through table relationships.
Hi vickyArce ,
You can duplicate a query table and do unpivot column on it(keep furnace and types), then use this table as bridge to link two tables.(furnace to original furnace field, furnace type to furnace table)
