Link one query to multiple other queries - multiple relationships from one table

[cdfisher89]

We have a 'User' query and I would like to link this to two other queries - Time Entry and Opportunity.  As you can see in the image below, it won't let me connect User to both.  How do you get around this?  Do I have to add another User query and link to the Opportunity query? This doesn't seem like the right answer.

Hi @cdfisher89,

In your scenario, it is not possible to create active relationship between User and Opportunity. Assume that you have multiple ids in Time Management  interacting with unique id in User, and you have multiple IsDeleted values in Time Management interacting with unique value of IsDeleted field, in this process, power bi desktop detects some ambiguity , which makes that you can only create inactive relationship between User and Opportunity. For more details about inactive relationship in Power BI Desktop, please review the following blog.

When you delete the relation between "Time Management" and "Opportunity" it will work.

Otherwise you can duplicate the "id" column in the query editor. 

And then connect the id's separatey to the id's.

I unfortunatly get the below error when i duplicate the column and then try and link.
