Hi @Anonymous 

 

If you created a table with DAX function Summarize, you cannot see it in Power Query Editor. Tables and columns created with DAX language are generated at the model level. They are created after you apply the transformations from Power Query to the model. It's not possible to covert it back to Power Query. 

 

Instead, you can try the Group by feature in Power Query Editor to summarize data in advance. Then merge two tables per your need.

 

Reference: 

Grouping or summarizing rows

Group rows of data (Power Query)

Hi as100

 

It is bad praticve to use many to many in PBI, consider modelling you data better.

 

If you must have a manay to many then ...

In PBI go to the relationship screen

click on the relationship 

you can then edit the relationship propeties.

see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-create-and-manage-relationships
