Two active relations to connect parts to serialnumber

Hello,

 

maybe someone can help me out. I would like to see which part numbers from table3 are used for the serial numbers in table1. To do that, I would like to use two active relations between two tables because the combination of the sequence number and work number is unique for every serial number. With 1 active relation ( sequence number to sequence number for instance) the work numbers don't match because of the inactive relation.

I don't need to calculate something. It is just the link between the serial number from table1 to the Part number, Description and Quantity in table3.

 

Thanks in advance.

You can't have two active relationships, but you could create new columns by concatenating together the sequence number and work number, with an appropriate delimiter, and then create an active relationship between the 2 new columns.

You could do the concatenation in Power Query or you could use the COMBINEVALUES function.
