    hi, Anonymous 

    For your requirement, you'd better create a data model as below:

    Create two fact tables that a distinct list of vendor and a distinct list of item.

    Then relationship like this:

     

    Then when you create report, use Vendor and Item from Vendor table and Item table.

     

    Best Regards,

Hi, Thanks for looking into this. This is really cool :)

I tried this logic and seems working. However, I am not get failure rate from this relationship.

 

Failure Rate = item defect qty / item received qty

 

Can you please help me?

Have you made sure that the relationships are pointing in the same direction as the diagram posted by v-lili6-msft ? (so the arrows point from Vendor to the other tables.

 

And are you using the Vendor column from the Vendor table in your visuals? If you use the Vendor column from either of the other 2 tables you measure will not work as it will only slice the numerator or denominator.
