Fact Tables w Bridge Table Fix This Table Visual

Hi all,

I am trying to create a Table Visual from 2 Fact Tables that are Joined to a Bridge Table as 1:M with Bi-directional relationship.
The Shipping Table has a list of Components that have been shipped. A Component_id has duplicates.
List of parts has list of parts used on each component. Data Model below.

The problem seems the 2 Fact Tables are at different levels of grain.
I need the Table Visual to expand so that when I add the Shipped Components and then the List of parts, the Table will display the component and all of the parts needed for each component.

 

The pbix file is here

Thanks,

Thanks Jianbo,

Setting the relationship between Modules and Parts as Inactive, then adding M:M relationship bewteen Parts and Shipped did the job. Thanks!

I merged the Parts to the Components as a workaround.
I don't think I should have to do that.
