VasTg Exactly what I was getting at. I think you misunderstood who I was disagreeing with.

Try this...

1. Create a bridge table(all combination of client,Product and source id)

2. Define relationship from source to bridge(1 to M - single direction)

3. Define relationship from Client  to bridge(1 to M - bidirection)

4. Define relationship from Product to bridge(1 to M - bidirection)

5. Join the bridge to facts(maybe M to M - single - bridge to facts)

 

Hopefully this should work.

Let us know.

    This could do the trick in the example but it won't work because I would need one gigantic bridge table.

    My real model kinda looks like this (and will grow in size in a few weeks because there are still some tables and rows missing):

     

    Besides, I wouln't be able to see a table with ProductName, Fullname and Date. Which is kinda annoying for a fact table 😁
