Data Exploding when adding a measure to a table

Hi All,

Please see below simplified PBIX showing the issue I am facing.

Exploding Table.pbix (20.2 KB)

I have two tables, with the example extracting [ID] and [REG] from the Parent table and [ID] and [TEXT] coming from the child table. As you can see from the below, the relationship is identifying the two [ID] columns and joining them as expected.

However, When I go to add a measure to the table, the data explodes showing repeating data from the parent table, as shown below:-

Any help in preventing this from happening is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi, 

 

Thanks for your response, however, the desired outcome would be that when I bring [Units] in to the table, I would have '1' at the end of every row where applicible (Not ID 5).

1aaa1Line21
1aaa1Line31
2bbb2Line11
2bbb2Line21
3ccc3Line11
4ddd4Line11
5eee   

 

On your example, I would be missing the rows with 'Line2' and 'Line3', which I want to be showing.

 

Hope that makes sense.

 

Thanks
