Hi,
I have a dimension table shown below which is in the hierarchy form and I want to create the relationship between diemnsion table and a fact table. The fact table has column 'object_oh_name3_lvl4' which is a common column in both the tables. The problem is that this column is not unique in the dimension table beacuse of which I am unable to create the relationship. I want to drill down the measure in the fact table from the top level of the hierarchy to the lowest level.
Any help would be appreciated.
Dimension table with 4 hierarchy levels (lvl_1, lvl_2,lvl_3,lvl_4)-Dimension table with 4 hierarchy levels
Hey,
the data model inside Power BI does not support recursive dimension structures (e.g. Parent / Child dimensions). For this you have model your dimension in another way.
This article describes this in a very concise way: https://www.daxpatterns.com/parent-child-hierarchies/
Hopefully this provides what you are looking for.
Regards,
Tom
