Many-to-Many Connection

  

Hey,

 

I'm trying to make a Power Pivot table that shows me a list of departments with its sales vs. goals. I'm using two DB's - MonthlyGoals and MonthlySales. Because there is many-to-many connection, I'm usind 3rd table with the list of my departments:

 

  

 

At the pivot table, I am dragging the Department table to the rows section, at the values section I am dragging Sales from MonthlySales, but when I try to dragging Goal from MonthlyGoals - the PowerPivot says there is no connection and unfortunately I cant create one.

 

How can i solve this problem?

Many thanks!

  • It not clear in the picture. But was it dotted line before you highlight the join? If yes, it was an inactive join. Please open properties and make it active.  Also, Delete and create it once again. If it did not work then If it is possible please share a sample pbix file after removing sensitive information.
