Help setting up data structure/relationships

[aashton]

Hello,

My data consists of different Leads (people), we've met through different sources (at an event, on the web, social media, etc).  I've set up the data structure like:  table Leads includes distinct emails.  This table links to a Lead Sources table 1-to-many on email.  The Lead Sources table includes the Source ID, which links to the Source table (this is events, referral, social media, etc).  The Leads table also links to Applications table on email.  A Lead can have multiple sources.  A lead can have multiple applications. 

I want to display the total number of leads and applications by Source.  But just creating a table visual that includes Lead email, Source, Applicaiton ID, I immediately get an error saying unknown relationship.

Have I set up this data structure correctly?  Do you have better ideas?

@aashton 

why you need all the bidirectional filters . 

i would recommend to get rid off the bidrectional filters .

bi directional filters make your DAX hard to interpret and debug. 

other than that, it all depends on your needs .

for you case, 

get the total number of leads by source : you can get this data from the source and leads source table 

get the total number of applications by source : i assume this is the requirement that because of it, you created the bi directional filters. 

i would recommend to remove all the bi directional filters and activate the bi directional filter just in the calculation of the measure, using crossfilter. 

calculate

(

[measure] ,

crossfilter ( tbl_name[col_1], tbl_name[col_2] , both ) 
)
