2 tables, Unique ID column in Both - Please Help

Hi,

Apologies but I am new to Power Bi but could really do with some advice please.

 

I have the following tables:- 

Table 1 - Matrix list of document catagories relating to the different document delivery stages - each item has a unique ID - no duplicates.

Table 2 - List of documents with site location and document delivery stage - multi docs relate to one unique ID from table 1 

 

I want to be able to create a report that people can filter by site and it will tell them for each stage what documents we have and what documents we are missing.  I cannot seem to link the 2 tables in relationships as it only gives me the option of many to many etc.

 

Is this possible as I just cannot figure it out.

 

many thanks Amanda

    Hi NewAndConfused ,

     

    I suggest you to create a Dim table and relate this table with both tables to create two one to many relationships.

    For reference: Many-to-many relationship guidance - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    If this reply still couldn't help you solve your issue, please share a sample file with me and show me a screenshot with the result you want.

     

    Best Regards,
