    Hi sfink22 ,

     

    You can do like this.

    1. Get such a table by transforming(copy + append queries)

    2. Create table relationship.

    3. Create calculated columns in [Date] table.

    P1_time = 
LOOKUPVALUE(
    '%time'[Phase 1 Time],
    '%time'[Complexity], 'Date'[Complexity Rating]
)
    P2_time = 
LOOKUPVALUE(
    '%time'[Phase 2 Time],
    '%time'[Complexity], 'Date'[Complexity Rating]
)

    4. Add the calculated columns and the [Date] column to the visual.

     

    Best regards,

So are the tables supposed to be related on Complexity?

 

I would unpivot the % columns in your second table. Create a bridge table of distinct Complexity values. Create relationships on complexity columns, use the complexity column from your bridge table.

Yes, they are related by complexity. By a bridge table, do you mean a table that has a single column with the unique complexity values?
