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.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Greg0ry ,
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.
You can securely upload the file using the community portal here:

Note: Ensure sensitive data is removed or anonymized before sharing.
Thank you for your collaboration. We’ll prioritize resolving this once we receive the sample file.
Best Regards

Hello, sorry for my response delay. This is the result I want to achieve:
I would like to have the monthly objective for each line and not the overall objective.
Thank.

Hi @Greg0ry ,
Thanks for your reply. It seems like the required columns are from multiple tables. Could you please provide some raw data in involved tables(exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following link to share the required info:
How to provide sample data in the Power BI Forum
And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

Hi @Greg0ry
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.
