Relationship Problem

Hi, 

 

When I am trying to create a relationship between two data tables, I keep getting the below outcome. 

 

Can anyone suggest what I need to do here please? 

 

Thanks

Hi @timward10 Could you check for multiple relationship paths between DIM_CALENDAR and DIM_DeliveryCustomer via intermediate tables. Deactivate unnecessary relationships or change them to single-direction to avoid ambiguity. Use bidirectional filtering cautiously, as it can cause circular filtering issues. Another way is to create calculated tables or measures to manage filtering explicitly without relying on automatic propagation.
