Pivot - Several databases - Many to Many
Hi,
In order to make your datamodel work properly, you ideally create a Customer Dimension.
This is a list with all unique Customers and optional more information on them.When you created this, you can simply connect both as you call it "databases" to the same table with a 1 to many connection(always try to stay from many to many)
How to create this?
Idealy, just go to PowerQuery --> Right click on a table that contains all Customers --> Reference --> Remove all columns except customer(key) --> Remove duplicate values of Customers
Now you have a list of all unique customers, this you can connect to all other tables containing multiple customer rows.
Hello Anonymous ,
Thank you for your answer. I didn want to concatenate theses columns because I need to use them separately. Finaly I renamed the columns with exactly the same name then it works but I have the same problem with another column.
Indeed, if I want to see the complaints and sales by week, I have the same problem :
DESIRED OUTPUT
| Week | Complaints | Sales |
| 12 | 18 | 789456 |
| 13 | 5 | 546585 |
| 14 | 25 | 45821 |
| 15 | 23 | 85468 |
| 16 | 85 | 87458 |
| 17 | 220 | 88754 |
What I have :
| Week | Complaints | Sales |
| 12 | 376 | 789456 |
| 13 | 376 | 546585 |
| 14 | 376 | 45821 |
| 15 | 376 | 85468 |
| 16 | 376 | 87458 |
| 17 | 376 | 88754 |
When I do "see records", I see that only one of the database is properly filtered as you can see below :
Many thanks for your help :)

Hello RobbeVL,
You was right, stay far from many to many. Now it works perfctly.
Many thanks all of you,
