How to transform a reverse star schema into a normal star schema

Greetings Experts, 

 

I have uploaded my data an the automatic relationship has sorted my tables below. From the traditional star schema, it looks to be a "reverse star schema". Fact tables are the end points and DimTables are the center of star. This of course is causing report issues because I'm not able to filter what I need and PowerBI says there's no relationships between fact tables. Anybody know a quick way to transform this "reverse Star Schema" into a "traditional star schema" where the fact tables are center and DimTables are end points?

    Hi Jlicht 

    I'm afraid there's no quick way to achieve that.You may transform them manually.

      v-cherch-msft  That is sad to hear, but I guess some data is build like that. Do you know how I would go about manually editing the data to fit a star schema in this situation? Just as a general process?
