Hi there ,
I have a query like below and I am struggling to get the "ti"."FIRST_NAME" AS "Technician" in my power bi app ,
Please kindly assist me , as I am new to power BI - it would be good if any one suggest any thing in details.
SELECT
"ti"."FIRST_NAME" AS "Technician",
"wo"."WORKORDERID" AS "Request ID",
"aau"."FIRST_NAME" AS "Requester",
"wo"."CREATEDTIME" AS "Created Time"
FROM "WorkOrder" "wo"
LEFT JOIN "SDUser" "sdu" ON "wo"."REQUESTERID"="sdu"."USERID"
LEFT JOIN "AaaUser" "aau" ON "sdu"."USERID"="aau"."USER_ID"
LEFT JOIN "WorkOrderStates" "wos" ON "wo"."WORKORDERID"="wos"."WORKORDERID"
LEFT JOIN "SDUser" "td" ON "wos"."OWNERID"="td"."USERID"
LEFT JOIN "AaaUser" "ti" ON "td"."USERID"="ti"."USER_ID"
WHERE
(
CONVERT(VARCHAR,DATEADD(SECOND, "wo"."CREATEDTIME"/1000 ,'19700101'),111) >='2020/08/01' and
CONVERT(VARCHAR,DATEADD(SECOND, "wo"."CREATEDTIME"/1000 ,'19700101'),111) <='2020/08/18'
)
My power bi app data model is attached.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You need to define the entire path of relationships and it seems that RELATED() function does not like the USERELATIONSHIP, so I have fixed it. Please check if this returns the expected results for technician:
Technician = CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE(AaaUser[FIRST_NAME]), USERELATIONSHIP(WorkOrder[WORKORDERID],WorkOrderStates[WORKORDERID]), USERELATIONSHIP(WorkOrderStates[OWNERID], SDUser[USERID]), USERELATIONSHIP(SDUser[USERID], AaaUser[USER_ID]))
UPDATE: @suvechha if you are getting an error about single path, you will need to make the relationship between WorkOrder and WorkOrderStates a many to one relationship with single cross filter direction.

Hi @suvechha ,
The relationships among these tables are equal to the join part in your SQL codes, so there is no need to add these join parts into your DAX formula. While you may change the Cross filter direction of relationships among the these tables above from Single to Both , which will take these tables treated as a single table.
What's more, the "ti"."FIRST_NAME" and the "aau"."FIRST_NAME" are referred to the same table 'AaaUser', so you may create two calculated columns in the table 'WorkOrder' like DAX below.
Requester = RELATED(AaaUser[FirstName])
Technician = RELATED(AaaUser[FirstName])
For the part "wo"."WORKORDERID" AS "Request ID" and "wo"."CREATEDTIME" AS "Created Time", you may go to table 'WorkOrder' in Field pane directly, rename the [WORKORDERID] with [Request ID], rename the [CREATEDTIM] with [Created Time] manually.

Hi Amy ,
I tried your suggestion but it didn't work.
@suvechha , In power BI you can rename the column at table level or at the visual level. Is rename is a challenge or join are not working as expected

How to upload my sample app over here.
Hi Allison,
I took the option 2.
But I am getting an error message
The column 'AaaUser[FIRST_NAME]' either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context.
Please kindly assist.

@suvechha - Not great with the SQL, that is renaming the column within the query, correct? I don't know of way to do that other than to use SELECTCOLUMNS.
If that is not it, Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882
