The use of multiple tables without relationships

Hi, community. I have the following problem: there are 3 tables, to which connection is performed through a Direct Query. They have no related fields. How can I get a value from one table to another table? Or how can I create a new table based on three old ones. A specific example - how do I get the price for a particular company in the payments table?

shipments payments sales
date date date
company company company
shipped_weight amount_money price
    amount_money

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Fact,

 

Why don't you create relationships between tables? As I noticed there existing common fields in all three tables. Alternatively, if you don't want to create relationships, you can use LOOKUPVALUE to get a value from one table to another table.

Hi @Fact,

 

Maybe you can achieve such a dataset via SQL Query when creating data source connection.
