Bridge Table Dax Help
- 3 months ago
Hi Whiz ,
The many to many relationship is occurring because Power BI requires the table on the one side of the relationship to contain unique values only. In this case, both BI Import and Actual contain repeated combinations of Project Name and Resource, so the original bridge table still could not enforce a proper one to many relationship.
The correct approach is to create a composite key by combining Project Name and Resource into a single column in both fact tables. Then create the bridge table using that same combined key so that the bridge contains only distinct values.
After creating the ProjectResourceKey column and rebuilding the relationships using that key, the model should display a one to many relationship from Bridge Fixed to both BI Import and Actual. This confirms that the bridge table is now functioning correctly as the unique dimension table and resolves the cardinality issue.

I appreciate your assistance, however now it is still giving me a many to many cardinality. Any suggestions?
