Data Model Cross-Filtering between 2+ Tables

[raymond]

Hello everyone,

I guess it is a seemingly simple problem but I dont know how to do it. There are 3 tables that I want to cross-filter. At the end I want to set a filter on which I can select e.g. (1) "Channel » Google_1" and get the number of Events from the Conversion Table that contribute to that. In another case I want to set a filter with (2) "Conversion » Download" and get the number of clicks and impressions. 

My first approach to solve that was to use the 4th table as some kind of a matching table. This however only worked for (1) but not for the reverse filter setting (2). 

Does anyone have a clou? 

A sample PBI file can be found here: Sample File

A Channel Table 

Channel	Impressions	Target
Google_1	1000	Produkt
Google_2	50	Start
Xing_1	2000	Produkt
Xing_2	250	Start

A Content Table

Page	Clicks	Source Channel
Produkt	100	Google_1
Start	5	Google_2
Produkt	200	Xing_1
Start	2	Xing_2

A Conversion Table 

Conversion	Events	Source Channel	Source Page
Download	5	Google_1	Produkt
Download	1	Google_2	Start
Download	10	Xing_1	Produkt
Download	1	Xing_2	Start
Contact	5	Google_1	Produkt
Contact	0	Google_2	Start
Contact	10	Xing_1	Produkt
Contact	0	Xing_2	Start

You should be able to keep just the three source tables, and then make a relation from the channel table to the other two tables. And that is more or less it, if this solves the problem mark it as solved.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately it doesnt resolve the isse.

1. There is a warning due to the many to many relationship which I would like to avoid.

2. When I filter by Channel (e.g. Google_1) the associated clicks and events dont get filtered automatically and vice versa.

I was thinking of including matching tables but this doesnt work right as well. It does however show me the right values when I start from the channel table. The further I go, the more inconclusive the values gonne get. The Content table only shows two columns correct. The Conversion table only shows conversions correct.
