How to set up data model with 2 fact tables
- 6 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
The suggestions of tex628 and PaulDBrown are great.
If the data structure of backlog table is the same with closes sales lines table, you might use Append feature to combine the two tables into one table, see more about how to append: Append vs. Merge in Power BI and Power Query . While before using append feature, you might add custom column to distinguish and identify the backlog table and closes sales lines table , see setting like below.
If the data structure is different between the two tables , and you wouldn't like to create many to many relationship, then you can create intermediate table like DAX below. Finally, create many to one relationship between the two fact table and new table.
New calculated Table = UNION(DISTINCT(backlog[orderlines]), DISTINCT('closes sales lines'[orderlines]))
