Relationship Issues

I have 2 dimension tables. One is the date table, and another is an employees table. I also have 3 fact tables. They all need to have relationships between both date and employees table. The reason is, I want a date slicer and employee slicer for all data on one visual. Is this possible? If so, what are my choices?

Hi @wcloninger ,

 

Yes, it's possible to create a Power BI model where a Date slicer and Employee slicer filter multiple fact tables simultaneously.

Table Name Relationship Join Type
Date Table Fact Table 1 One-to-Many (Date)
Date Table Fact Table 2 One-to-Many (Date)
Date Table Fact Table 3 One-to-Many (Date)
Employees Table Fact Table 1 One-to-Many (Employee ID)
Employees Table Fact Table 2 One-to-Many (Employee ID)
Employees Table Fact Table 3 One-to-Many (Employee ID)

Place slicers from the Date and Employees tables on your report. And build visuals using fields from dimensions (Date/Employees) and measures from the fact tables. (example: A table showing Employee Name (from Employees), Total Sales (from FactSales), Total Hours (from FactHours), etc.)

Hello @wcloninger 

 

Yes, you can. Use Bridge table concept having the values from your employee and date tables. Then connect this bridge table with your dimensions and facts.

 

Let me know if it works!

 

Thanks!
