    i understand you.

    you can using dax create w caluclated table : 

    DimCustomers = 

    var customers_table_1 = distinct( t1[customer_column])

    var customers_table_2 = distinct( t2[customer_column])

    RETURN

    distinct( 

    union ( customers_table_1   , customers_table_2 ) 

     

    then you link this table to both t1 and t2 table base on the customer field. 

     

    then in your visuals, you read the customer data from the newly created table :  DimCustomers.

     

    will this solve it ? or am i missing something ?

Hello,

if the 2 tables are the same with same columns and same column names, try appending the 2 tables together. this way you will have 1 consolidated table . ( fact table  )

 

hope this helps.

let me know if you have any concerns.
