Hi @jaryszek ,

Are you trying to create a relationship between two tables with multiple columns? Is the relationship created as and or? For example, if the key column 1 in table 1 is the same as the key column 1 in table 2, but the key column 2 in table 1 is not the same as the key column 2 in table 2, how would that be displayed?

 

And refer:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-create-and-manage-relationships 

 

 

Best Regards

Lucien

Hi Lucien,

 

please see screens attached from Access to reproduce my issue. I have relationship created based on 3 fields, not 1.

in Access relationships would like like:

Form:

and in power BI i have something like here:

Should i use Bridge table in this case or just create relationships many to many instead? 

What is a good practice in this case?

 

Best,
Jacek
