@Anonymous  Ideally, you should have one main table (can be called dimension table) which will have a unique field to connect to other tables (could be fact tables). Then you can create one-to-one relationship between your dimension table and fact table. It will be greate if you can share your dataset view so can assist you accordingly. However, you should follow one dimension table to multiple fact table relationship. this will also help in createing star schema in your dataset.
