Help with Data Model: Ambiguity between tables triggered_send and event

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to get an active relationship established between triggered_send and event (together with send) following the Salesforce Marketing Cloud Schema here

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1F5eVIvE37fAfEvFQlT-2Y-a4qBikIy9W2hpOT7ZUdAw/edit#slide=id.g3...

 

It keeps prompting the same error despite renaming some of the fields. I am assuming the column names are still ambiguous?

I have also changed all the cross-filtering mode to single after going through the similar posts but still to no avail... I want to avoid using DAX as much as I can as this would be used by non data people.

 

Cheers!

Hi @jervissho ,

 

As the error shows, you can't create direct active relationship between "email" and "send" . You can uncheck "make this relationship active", let the email and send tables be connected as an inactive relationship.

I am still faced with the same issue after deleting the rest of the links. I think the cause lies with email and event. Any chance i could make event reference to both triggered_send and send that is both needing to be reference from the email table?

Hi, 

This is because you have created 1 to * relationships between [List] - [Event] and [List] - [Triggered Send].

Two distinct paths are already specified for [List] to filter [Event] and [Triggered Send] tables.

So, if we try to make the [Triggered Send] - [Event] relationship active, it will create another indirect filter which will cause ambiguity in the data.

Due to this you cannot have another active relationship between [Triggered Send] and [Event] tables.
