Building a Table Visual - error "Can't determine relationships between the fields"

I have what I feel like is a stupid question.  I've been using Power BI for several years and it seems like I run into this problem and can't figure it out.. or at least remember. I have these three...

    I think I understand the nature of the problem....

    The Deals can have more than one Company.. and the Deals can have more than one Status.

    When trying to put these together  liek below

    Deal, Company(s), Status(es)

     

    Power BI does not know how to list these in one Table.. in that for every Deal -> company relationship does it go and get every Deal-Status combination.. the Status and Company while related to a single Deal ... there is no relationship between the Company and Status...  showing that in a single table does not make logical sense...

Hi Ray_Brosius !

 

You might need to change one of your relation direction to be bi-directional; You can possibly change Companies to Deal relationship to be bi-directional this will allow the rows to be filtered through.

 

If this doesn;t work you can make both relationships bi-directional to test it out.
