P6 data modelling in powerBI

[EllieY]

Hi everyone,

I've successfully connected Power BI directly to Primavera P6. However, I'm facing some challenges with the data modeling part.

I'd like to create a table similar to the one in the screenshot below, with slicers such as Act-Code Name to categorize tasks under each Workstream. I’d also like to include the WBS Name in my Task table.

The issue arises when I try to use Act-Code Name from the ACTVCODE table — it doesn't filter or display the data as expected. This suggests there's a problem with the data model or relationships between the tables.

Could you please advise how I should set up the correct connections between these tables to make it work?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @EllieY,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

Could you please provide a sample PBIX file with mock data. I'd like to validate the relationships between the TASK, TASKACTV, and ACTVCODE tables, especially to troubleshoot an issue where filtering by ACTV_CODE_NAME (Workstream) doesn't affect the visuals as expected.

From the visuals and existing model, everything looks correct the relationships seem to be in place but filtering still isn't working. A working PBIX file would help confirm whether there's a data modeling issue or something else affecting it.

If this helped, please mark the response as the accepted solution and give it a thumbs-up so others can benefit too.

Best regards,
Prasanna Kumar
