Relationships between multiple tables

I have 7 tables in the report.

 

The main table has customer name, date/quarter,Leader,Location, NPS score etc.

The other 6 tables has customer name, date/quarter,Leader,Location along with their TAT as one of the field.

 

I have created relationship for customer name from main table to all other tables and when creating relationship between date/quarter,Leader,Location from main table to other tables, it is throwing out error "You cant create direct active relationship....."

 

Solutions please

Your model is full of bi-directional relationships. 

Create a single customer table with unique customers if you don't have one then, create relationships One-To-Many as cardinality with other tables.

Can you show a picture of your model to see the relationships?

Check this article at the same time, if you use BI-Directional:
