Data Modeling between 2 Fact Tables

[T8]

Hi All,

I am new to data modeling and I feel like this shouldn't be that hard...

I have two fact tables for Orders and Outstanding Invoices. I am trying to create a matrix that displays orders that are on credit hold and the open invoices regarding that customer. I thought I had created the right relationships between the two tables using a dimension table with unique customer numbers, but when I drag all three fields into the rows section of the matrix the visualization won't display due to the relationships.

Hi, @T8 

According to the screenshot ,

In your relational model, the filter relationship looks like this, and if you put a field that does not have a filter relationship between them, then there is a risk of an error.

If you place a hierarchical field, there will be no error, you need to check whether there is a corresponding filter relationship between the fields of the row headers, simply put, whether the field of the first level can filter the fields of the next level.

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!

I figured it out using a bridge table! Thank you
