Column Item no in Table Product contains a duplicate value '100-Product1'

Product

Itemno productdetails

Order

Itemno orderdetails

When I create manage relationship from product Itemno->Order Itemno  ,

cardinality-one to many,cross filter direction-single

Error details

Im facing error this relationship has cardinality on-many .This should only be used if it is expected that neither column(item number and Item#)contains unique values and that the significantly different behaviour of one-many relationship is understood.

  1. In your Product table, make sure Itemno contains only unique values. If not, consider creating a calculated table or removing duplicates.
  2. If both tables contain duplicates in Itemno, consider changing the relationship type to Many-to-Many. This is often necessary if both tables have repeated values in the Itemno column.
  3. If both columns have non-unique values, you can introduce a bridge table that holds unique Itemno values, linking the two tables via this bridge.
