Hi,When asking a question about datamodelling and relationships, it's a good idea to include a picture of your datamodel and description of relationships.Check out this thread for further explainiation:https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/m-p/1447523#M607150That being said, you might look into incorporation&nbsp;Dimension tables&nbsp;into your datamodel. I'm sure you preferred PowerBi youtuber will have a video on this.

If the connection between the table is one-to-many, use the Country field in the table in the 'one' section.It should filter both.

Hello there&nbsp;cristianj&nbsp;! What you need is a dimension table to connect both of the different "sides" of the company you want to analyze. In attachment you'll find some links that will guide in understanding what are Fact and Dimension Tables and how to apply them to Power BI in order to obtain the needed star schema. Summing up, what you need is a Country Dimension table that contains the CountryID (hopefully) and the Country Name that allows to connect to the Sales and Warranties table via a one-to-many relationship with each.

Alternatively, you can use the TREATAS() function to propagate filters to unrelated tables.
