Table relations
Hello and Happy new year!!
I have this data model in my Power BI Desktop file:
The dot line is a inactive relation between this tables because I can't relate them directly (it's show an error message that it would generate ambiguity between the tables Custormers and HistoricalInvoicesLines). How can I relate this tables? I need to know for a Record[CodRecord] which are the SUM(HistoricalInvoicesLines[Amount]) for this record.
Thank you!
Hey,
you should use
USERELATIONSHIP(<columnName1>,<columnName2>)
It explicit uses a relationship for calculating a measure.

Hi
In this case you have check the data inside this entities or you can create one more entity by having distinct records and link it with Historical.
