Hi,

In the Query Editor, you should create another single column table of Team C (Table C).  Now create a relationship from Table A and B to Table C.

Hope this helps.

@harshadrokade seems like you have another table in the model that is connected to these two table and that could be the reason as the message suggest. Share full relationship diagram screenshot
