Issue with relationships

Hi, 

 

I need help with relationships. This is what I currently have: 

relationships.PNG

 

Three upper ones are joined via Account number and  Excel and Months tables are joined via Month as well. Now I need to join the upper right table also via month, because I have a table where the months are on row level and currently the totals from upper right tables are all the same there. If I just join Months table with upper right, then it doesn't work.. 

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

@Anonymous,

What error message do you get when creating relationship between upper right table and Months table?

Based on your existing relationships, there is an indirect relationship between upper right table and Months table(Months->Escel->Account names->upper right table).

Lydia
