Hi
I want to create the report using power BI. The report should be created using the data from multiple sharepoint lists. Please find the lists and data relations between these lists. DeptID is reference in both lists(EmployeeDetails and LocationDetails)
DeptDetails
| Dept ID | Dept Name |
| 1 | IT |
| 2 | HR |
| 3 | Finance |
EmployeeDetails
| Employee ID | Employee Name | Dept ID |
| 100 | John | 1 |
| 200 | Linda | 2 |
| 101 | Steve | 1 |
| 201 | Ramesh | 2 |
| 102 | Raj | 1 |
LocationDetails
| Dept Location Country | Dept Location State | Dept ID |
| US | New York | 1 |
| UK | London | 2 |
| India | Delhi | 1 |
| Germany | Berlin | 2 |
The data should be diplayed in the following format which I can then export in excel file
| Dept ID | Dept Name | Employee ID | Employee Name | Employee ID | Employee Name | Employee ID | Employee Name | Dept Location Country | Dept Location State | Dept Location Country | Dept Location State |
| 1 | IT | 100 | John | 101 | Steve | 102 | Raj | US | New York | India | Delhi |
| 2 | HR | 200 | Linda | 201 | Ramesh | UK | London | Germany | Berlin | ||
| 3 | Finance |
So please suggest how this report will be generated using Power BI
According to my attempt, this format is difficult to implement unless the table is split into many tables.
Placing Employee ID & Employee Name columns in these tables into the visual can get a similar format.
Can you provide some more details or sample using data provided in my query? So I will get more clearity to work on this report
Hi @nileshwh
How did you create the lists in sharepoint? there is a specific way to do it.
If the files are already in excel, why don't you pout them in a folder and use Sharepoint Folder to improt them inot Power bi desktop. the rest is easy

Hi Amine,
Ther SharePoint lists have been already created and crud operations get performed using powerApps. Now I want to generate Power BI report to display the data spead in diffferent SP list in single row deptwise. The report data I want to import in excel file with download functionality. But the biggest challenge I am facing is displaying the employee details and Location details in single row in different columns for each department (As shown in screenshots).
