Direct Query Where Clause

Hello,

 

I have a model with two datasets (Project and Sales) linked on ID. When I filter my report on Project.ID the query sent to the database has a where caluse (WHERE Project.ID = 123). When I filter on Project.Code the same query gets a where clause (WHERE Project.Code = 'ABC').

How can I force Direst Query to use the ID instead of the Code? 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Frank

Hey,

 

you can't.

 

Power BI can't know that there is one to one relationship between the two columns even if both columns reside in the same table.
