HI @pieterf,

So you mean you want to direct link these two datasource which connect by dierctquery mode?
If that is the case, I'd like to suggest you reference another model table dimension to the current database, then you can create a bridge table from these two model dimension fields and use this table to rebuild relationships mapping on the power bi side.

the error message indicates you have another relationship that allows for a ambiguous path in the your model.
