Powerbi table connection
In powebi, in linking tables and model view, I can't link 3 tables. Can you help me? The 3 tables are "sales table", "customers table" and "objectives table". The “sales table” is linked to the “customers table” with the “customer code” key. The "sales table" contains the "date" column. The “customers table” contains the “promoter” column. I want to connect the "objective table" which contains the "date" and "promoter" columns with the "sales table" and "customers table", but it does not work.
Hi Anonymous ,
After reviewing the provided screenshot, we identified a potential data type mismatch between the Datum[Date] column (formatted as DateTime) and the
Objectifs promoteurs[Mois]column (formatted as Date). This inconsistency could contribute to errors when establishing relationships between the tables.To expedite troubleshooting, could you kindly share a simplified .pbix file that replicates the issue? Please include a brief description of the expected outcome in the file or your response. This will allow us to:
-
Validate the root cause of the relationship error.
-
Replicate the scenario and test solutions efficiently.

Thank you for your collaboration. We’ll prioritize resolving this once we receive the sample file.
Best Regards

What you're attempting to do will create ambiguity. Vente is already linked to Clients, and Clients are connected to Objectifs. If you establish a direct relationship between Vente and Objectifs, it will result in a circular relationship. When using columns from these tables, it becomes unclear which relationship will take precedence: Vente to Clients/Objectifs, Objectifs to Clients/Vente, or Clients to Vente/Objectifs.
Hi Anonymous ,
Could you please provide us with the final results you are aiming to achieve? This will help us offer the most appropriate solution for your needs. We might be able to create a relationship by using a bridge table, adding a new combinated column, or developing specific measures to meet your requirements.
