Product usage tracking multiple items in one row

Hello All,

 

I am an avid Excel user, but I am new to Power BI and would like some direction. I created an example that mirrors what I am trying to achomplish.

 

Scope: The owner of a used car dealership wants to track what vehicles are being test driven. Sometimes a salesman will test drive multiple cars on one day.

This is how I would like to display the data in Power BI

I am able to create a relation between test drive 1 and the product details of each car; however, I cannot determine a way to connect all test drives to the product details. I have tried adding relationships, but I can only have one relationship active.

An example of what I am trying to show is the month of January should have seven test drives. 

If its an easy solution that I am missing and there are places where I can learn, please let me know!

 

Thank you!

@HuskyMan , One very clear as data shared above has different column than one in relation diagram.

 

But seem like unpivot the test drive 1, test drive 2, test drive 3 , is an option to be explored

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

So basically that feature seperates the row into multiple entries to format the data for Power BI. I think thats the solution I needed.
