Relationship between three tables
Hello everyone,
I'm working on creating a visual table that combines information from 3 different tables.
"Table 1" : a monthly database that contains various information. Each contact has a unique ID, but this is repeated multiple times (once for each month).
"Table 2" : a database with specific informatio about a contact that cannot be included in Table 1, to avoid repeating the ID multiple times within the sam month.
"Table 3" : a DB that contains the unique IDs.
I created a relationship between the three tables, as follows:
I attempted to create a visual table that includes information from all three tables:
- IDs from Table3
- Info1 from Table1
- Info2 from Table2
However I get an error saying that PBI can't determine the relationships between the fields.
I have no idea how to solve this. I would appreciate your help!

Table 3 is your dimension table. Its ID field needs to be the first field in your visual. The joins need to be single directional, going only from Table 3 to the other tables.

Hello @lbendlin, thank you for your reply.
I updated the relationships as you suggested and attempted to create the visual, but the issue persists. I added the IDs from Table3 and then included Info1 from Table1. However, when I add Info2 from Table2, I encounter the same error.
