How do I create multiple relationship paths between 2 tables?

Hi everyone, 

 

I'm trying to connect 3 tables together and came across the error that I can't create the relationship between table 1 & table 3  because it would create ambiguity between table 1 & table 2. 

 

It seems to be the same as this problem:

but i'm still not sure on how to go about fixing it. 

 

Here is the file for reference: link.

 

Thank you!

@nurulraqiah , I do not have access to the image.  Make sure there no two paths. Means A- B -C  and A-C

Hi @amitchandak

 

I'm basically trying to link these 3 tables together:

Hi @nurulraqiah ,

 

May I ask you why you want to create multiple relationship among the tables? If it is because of calculations, you could try to create a start schema and use crossfilter() to implement.
