Tutorial for data model relationships?

Hello

 

I have several tables and I want to use various columns from each of these tables. I build relationships based on the fields that contain common values.

 

However, when I start dropping fields in a table visual, the values are not displayed correctly. Particularly, some values are missing when they shouldn't.

 

Can you provide some guidance on how to build relationships to achieve what I want?

For example, what relationship parameters to use?

 

Also there is something that seems to be a major annoyance of PowerBI.

 

After I have built the data relationships, when I bring together two columns from different tables in a table visual, all the values are shown as expected. But when I put other columns from other tables inbetween, it seems the relationships are broken. Any advice on that please?
