Relationships

 

 

I keep getting an error that tells me I cannot create a relationship between two tables because one of them has to have unique values.  Can someone explain this to me? Don't you need to join the tables together by a common point?

 

Thank you,

 

Joseph

    A unique value is a column that does not contain any duplicates, thus unique. 

     

    UNIQUE             NOT UNIQUE

    1                         1

    2                         1

    3                         2

    4                         3

    5                         1

    One of the tables has to have unique values. If you cannot do that with your two tables, create a third table that pulls all of the values from both tables (merge step) and then does a "Unique values" step. Then, link both tables to that third table.
