Table visualization error due to missing relationship

Hi all!


I need to display a table visual in Power BI with fields from the following tables: Tags, Models, and Spare Parts. If I add the Tags and Models fields or the Spare Parts and Models fields, it works, but as soon as I add all three Tags, Spare Parts, and Model it throws an error.


Keep in mind that I cannot directly link Tags with Spare Parts. The Spare Parts Models table is theoretically a bridge table between Tags and Spare Parts.

If I aggregate the spare_parts field in count/first/last, I can view it.

These are the relationships I have.

 

Thanks

  • Hi Fern_21   - Since the tags table isn't directly related to spare_parts, create a measure to retrieve the associated spare parts. Use a Measure Instead of Direct Fields as like below

    Eg: 

    Spare_Part_List =
    VAR _SpareParts = CONCATENATEX(
    RELATEDTABLE(spare_prts_models),
    spare_parts_models[id_spare_part],
    ", "
    )
    RETURN _SpareParts

     

     

    Hope this helps.

        yes ofcourse, use it as per your shared snapshot. I have used table names. please check the table names and use it. 

         

        Let me know if it works, if not please share some sample data for reference by removing the sensitive data in your pbix file.
