Unable to include field values from start schema tables into a single table visual

I am getting an error "Can't display the data because Power Bl can't determine the relationship between two or more fields." when trying to include fields from the different tables which are all following 1-Many relationship and in a star schema. Is it normal that we couldn't include fields like this without aggregation or am I missing something?

Could someone help me to understand the concept here please?

Thankyou, @Uzi2019, for your response.

Hi @msksenthil,

We appreciate your inquiry posted on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

Based on my understanding, the error arises because your model contains one-to-many relationships from Table1 to Table2 and Table1 to Table3. When you pull fields from these tables into the same visual without aggregating them, it creates ambiguity in the row context. Since Table3 has multiple status entries per AID, and Table2 has multiple activity dates, Power BI faces difficulty in determining which specific status or date to display for each person.

Please find attached the screenshot and the PBIX file, which might assist you in resolving this issue:

Thank you for testing it. I really appreciate it. I understand that we can't include fields from multiple tables into the table visual without aggregation.

Sorry, this doesn't help with my case. Likewise, I can't upload the document from my end. Hence I just posted the snap of the spreadsheet with sample data. Can you please try from it and share your thoughts?
