problem with relation between tables

[Giada90]

Hi,

I have relation between a lot of tables, all bidirectional, but if I put some fields of different tables on a table object it says that it's not possible to establish relation between more fields, why?

The relations are ok and the tables are correctly related, how can I do?

Thanks

Hi @Giada90 ,

As the error describes, the reason is that the two fields are built without a proper relationship to filter.

I created three tables for testing:

Relationships:

When we drag the customer field and the product field into the visual form and set them to not aggregate, the same error is displayed:

This is because [customer] does not have any relationship with [product], such as one-to-one or one-to-many. They can just both filtered by 'Date'[Date](one-to-many).

If you need to relate to the many-to-many dimension,please refer:

Many-to-many relationship guidance

After adding the unique identifier (ID) column for each order:

Power BI is designed to work with a Star Schema, and a good model is half the battle.
