Relationships with Column Names

I'm new to Power BI.  I'm trying to create a relationship between my tables of client information and the data itself for filtering.  Right now in my data tables, the client name is the column name. ...

    Hi LeahS ,

     

    To create a relationship between your client information table and the Level 1 table, you'll need to unpivot the Level 1 table so that the client names become values in a single column instead of being column names.


    Go to the Data view->Select the Level 1 table->In the Home tab, click on Transform Data to open the Power Query Editor->In the Power Query Editor, select all columns except the date column->Right-click on one of the selected columns and choose Unpivot Columns->Rename the generated Attribute column to "Clients" and the Value column to something meaningful, like "Level 1 Count"->Click Close & Apply to apply the changes

    Now, you should have a transformed Level 1 table with a "Clients" column that can be used to create a relationship with the client information table. To create the relationship:


    Go to the Model view->Drag the "Clients" column from the Level 1 table to the "Clients" column in the client information table->Power BI will automatically create a relationship between the two tables.
