Connecting Databases/Columns with Different Nomenclatures
Hey everybody.
I want to connect two databases that have different ways of describing my building names.
Example:
Database 1 spells Building 1
Database 2 spells BR - Building 1
What is the best way to do this, without running into the "one of the columns must have unique values"
Thanks!

karimk,
Do you get the above error when creating relationship between the two tables in Power BI Desktop? If that is the case, please create a new table containing unique values of the column, then create relationship among the three tables. For more details, please review the following article.
