Hi Everyone , I am looking for a clarification in data modelling in power BI.
I have two tables i want to build a relationship between.
One is fact table with all the business values and another one is dimension table.
I have one column in fact table which is named Question_option_field and has Field name values (distinct values - 214, total rows - 19000) and another column in dimension table named Question_option_field for those Field Values
The catch here is that the dimension table column which i want to connect with the Fact table column has not all the distinct values (so it only has some values of Question_option_field(field names , around 150 distinct and unique value).
When I am trying to create a relationship between them , it is showing me many to many relationship where it should have one to many relationship.
I want to ask is it happening because i dont have aal the distinct values of filed column in the dimension table column or is there some other reason?? Also does it effect my report??

Hello @shris19
this could happen because you have a blank value in the 1-side relationship on the field that the relationship is based on upon .
if that so, you can replace the blank in power query to #N/A
