Relation many to many with null values

Hello all, I need one advice . 

 

I have one relationship in PowerBI Many 2 Many between fact table and DIM table . 

 

In the fact table the many is caused by null vallues in my SQL, in the dim table it's really many values. 

You thinks the results it's ok ? I can delete the null value in my fact table . 

 

Thanks for your tips!

  • Vanessa250919 , If there a null value on dimension (1- side of the table) power will not create 1-M join.

     

    Remove that row in the power query on the dimension side.

     

    Or replace with a value like "n/a" (-1) in power query;in both dimension and fact table

      Ok thanks for your answer, but if I understand well your answer the real issue Is it with null values. But, if I replace null by N/A for example, I create a duplicate value... Not one issue for 1 to many ?
