Can´t detect relationship even when the relationship IS CREATED in the model

I have this weird problem with connected tables. Through the table Stavy as seen in the screenshot I should be able to connect both tables Polozky_MD and Polozky_DAL to the Junction table. However, only Polozky_MD works. Using Polozky_DAL, I can get data from Stavy, but not from Junction table - error message says pBI can't detect relationship between two or more fields. 

Does anyone has any ideas, what shall I try? Even after disconnecting the table Polozky_MD completely this does not work.

Thanks Tomas

Hi @tomasp,

 

If you modify the cross filter mode to both, does these tables work? If you try to delete the current relationship and re-create them, does these work?

If above are not help, can you share us a sample file to test?

Hi,

thanks for advices, unfortunately none had worked. I already dropped and recreated the connection, then modified the cross filter, nothing happend. Then i simplyfied the model by merging tables Polozky_MD and Polozky_DAL into one. 

But even more surpising error occured: Now I have a working table in my report and when I try to create exactly the same table, "relationship problem" occurs again! IDK maybe the table must be created by adding columns in some specific order? Shamefully I dont remebmer the order in which I added columns into the table, that is woking. I will gladly send a demo file if you tell me an e-mail address. Thanks T.
