Join 2 tables

Hi there,

I'm trying to join these two tables with a 1 to many relationship between these two files but Power BI is forcing me to do a many to many relationship.
And that makes my relationship not interactive like I wanted.
What I mean is that normally I should have a relationship that allows me with an item of the first table to modify the second or the relationship that power creates for me does not really link my tables.

I don't know if you see a way to make this possible in order to have my two tables interactively linked.

Thank you for your help.



Best regards,

Power BI will usually force where there is indeed many to many relationships.

Please check your joining link/column, it might not be unique in either case

Hi @Eddy-cbre 

Thanks for reaching out to us.

>> but Power BI is forcing me to do a many to many relationship

Please check whether there is a many to many relationship in your two tables. If they are not one to many but many to many, then it will be enforced as a many to many relationship.

For more information, see Relationships with a many-many cardinality.

For more information about when to change cardinality, see Understanding additional options.
