I want to relate two tables 'OE' and and 'Salary' with 1:n relationship.
'OE' contains the column with unique Key OE3 and 'Salary' contains the column OE3.
If i want to activate the relationshop, there comes the meesage that the 1:n is not possible.
What´s the reason?
Solved! Go to Solution.
No, last step creating table 'OE' ist deleting duplicates.
sorry, you are right, there were duplicates. Problem was there were two values, one without last <Space> one with last <space>. I have found it. Interestingly in Excel and Power BI it is be used as identic value. Only powerquery knows, that therae ar two different values. Now I have deleted the last space, delted duplicates and now I can use 1:n relationship.
Yup, I have encountered this with SQL Server, two values 'Contoso' and 'Contoso ' are considered the same in SQL Server, but Power Query doesn't considers this so it shows both Contoso in the drop down.
DECLARE @test TABLE (Brand VARCHAR(20))
INSERT INTO @test
VALUES
('Contoso'),
('Contoso ' ),
('Contoso ')
SELECT DISTINCT *
FROM @test
