    In the data model, you would relate dimensionTable[VendorCode] ONE : MANY ownerTable[VandorCode].

    You can then use the [VendorName] field from your dimension table in any visuals/calculations that you want.

Hi Pete, thanks for the info.  

 

I however do not have a separate vendor table.  Its an import of an excel file with all the details (table is called FBL1N Pmts.  

is there a way to adjust what I already have in this table FBL1N Pmts to populate Vendor Name based on the vendor code in this single table I have?
