Hi Can I create relationship between tables with only text data ( no values)?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Krzysztof1 -Yes, you can create relationships between tables in Power BI based on text data columns, even if the columns do not contain numeric values.
ex: i have taken empl with text data and summar with text and one date field. we can do it.
if you have any reference data please share it.
Hope it helps.
