Hi all,
I am having trouble and was wondering if someone could please help and advise me.
I have a SharePoint custom list which contains 5 lookup columns all of the same lookup, for example:
The issue I have is that all five lookup columns lookup to the same list, I know that in Power BI it is not possible to create relationships like so:
I am just wondering what the best way to work around this would be as I require to be able to build reports based on the lookup value.
I have already tried a few different methods to get this working but so far had no luck.
Appreciate any help and advice.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Adam13Hylo,
If we can combine the five columns into one, it will be easy to create relationship.
1. Open Query Editor;
2. Select the five columns with "Shift" or "Ctrl";
3. Click "Unpivot Only Selected Column".
4. Change column names if needed.
Best Regards!
Dale
