  • Hi SelflearningBi  ,
    I would suggest you to create a one to many relationship between Table 1 and Table 2 on basis of Model Name.
    To Create relationship manually :-

    1. On the Modeling tab, select Manage relationships > New.

    2. In the Create relationship dialog box, in the first table drop-down list, select a table. Select the column you want to use in the relationship.

    3. In the second table drop-down list, select the other table you want in the relationship. Select the other column you want to use, and then select OK.

  • Hi,

    This table I will call Problem

    Model NameProblemValue
    ASize10
    BSize5
    CColor3
    ENo Issue2
    EColor1

     

    This table I will call Order.

    Model NameValueQty
    A1100
    A230
    C31
    D103
    C42

     

    Create a reference to the Problem table and remove all but the model column.

    Create a reference to the Order table and remove all but the model column.

    Append the two new referenced tables together.

    Remove the duplicates in Model column.

    Join the new dimension table table to the two fact tables Order and Product. 

     

    You can now slice by model.

        Hi,

        Sorry, I read your requirement incorrectly.

        The original poster is partly correct, join both tables on Model. I assume you will have a many to many relationship. This will create a many to many realtionship but that will be ok. Make sure cross filter direction is set to both.

         

         

        Then create a reference to the Problems table. 

        Remove all columns except the problem column.
        Remove duplicates.

        Join the new Problem lookup (slicer / dimension) table to the other problem table on Problem. This will be a one-many relation. It will now slice both.
