Reporting on Many to many

I have 3 datasets DS1, DS2 & DS3. 

 

Example 

DS1

DS1ID          Name                 DS2ID

1                   T1                         1

1                   T1                         2

1                   T1                         3

2                   T2                         4

2                   T2                         3

2                   T2                         5

3                   T3                         1

3                   T3                         6

 

DS2

DS2ID          DS2Name             

1                   S1

2                   S2

3                   S3

4                   S4

5                   S5

6                   S6

 

 

DS3

DS2ID          PName

1                   p1

1                   p2

2                   p3

2                   p4

3                   p1

3                   p3

4                   p5

4                   p6

5                   p2

5                   p3

 

Now the report need to count all Trans in DS1 for a Giver PName

 

PName           Count of DS1.Name

p1                         3

p2                         1

..                          ...

  • mmoizk Which visual are you using ? When you pick a field from third table have you specified you want the count instead of Don't summarize (if you're using table).

    mmoizk It is simple. You should have your relationships that looks like below. In any visual select name from TAB1 and Count of PName from TAB3.
