Why is cardinality Many:Many when a Excel table has a distinct field?
I decided to import a Table ("Workdays") from Excel with the number of work days. It has one row per YEAR_MONTH and the YEAR_MONTH field would be the connection to the BI_Calendar. This should be 1:Many.
I read through pages of Cardinality questions and didn't find a similar one. I have this issue often when importing a table from Excel. Not when I make a table in SQL (I have no SQL access to do so).
Anonymous , In table Workdays, is Year_month values are duplicate or null, in that case, you will have many to many

Thank you for your interest. No. Year_Month is distinct. I did an Export of the table from PBI. No Null Rows. I did a check of count for each row and Year_Month is distinct. Yes, the other two columns have many but that shouldn't matter. The Forum wouldn't allow me to post the table output, odd.

Blank Cells contained invisible characters. They show up in Excel as blank cells and Excel treated them as blank.
