Filtering Data from External Source

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I currently have a master file containing data on expenses that includes multiple headers with information pertaining to project, date, category etc. I want to add monthly forecast expense figures into my power bi visuals/tables but the only information I have will be product category, date and the forecast figure. I tried loading the separate sheet into power bi but can only only create one repationship between the 2 sheets at a time and can therefore only filter on date or product category and not on both. Both sheets are in the same Excel workbook and I gave the forecast figures identical column headings to the original file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

@Anonymous , I think I need some data sample to understand this. I can only advise creating common dimension/ Bridge tables and have a date table.

Try to be in a star schema model.
