Salesforce Data Tables for Relationship

Hello Everyone,

 

I am using Desktop Pro and pulling SalesForce Objects (not pulling all 382 tables, only Account, Agreement, Lead, Opportunity, and Transactions). What I am trying to find out is which additional tables I need to download to pull fields "ChildAccounts" and "Parent" so I can then build a relationship to the "Account" table and roll up transaction charges. When I perform the following, I can see the fields "ChildAccounts" and "Parent":

 

Get Data > Salesforce Objects > Select "Production" and "Include relationship columns" > Select "Account"

 

So I can see the fields, but how can I tell which tables I need to pull to build the relationship to GET these fields? Selecting "Account" will not allow me to pull those fields. 

 

I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Regards,

 

Veejay

    Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to find a table which lists the relationship between "ChildAccounts" and "Parent" from SalesForce Objects data source.

    Actually, this relationship has been contained in the table “Account”, please refer to the following steps: load data into PowerBi Query editor.

     

    Then find the column ChildAccounts and Parent, refer to the following picture to choose required columns and expand these data:

      Hi all,

       

      I would like to have the Account Hierarchie (which is visible in Salesforce) as Salesforce objects in PBI. But it seems that in the version 2.97.801.0, which I am using,  the Account table doesn't have this Parent-Child relationship. Does someone has a solution for the new PBI versions? Or is this linked to Salesforce? 

       

      Best Regards!
