2 TopicsFormatting Data from three tables into a dynamic report
Hi, I have three data tables I'm trying to combine into dynamic reports. They are contain unique ID keys so the relationships are in place, but I'm having trouble dispaying them in a way that is flexible enough and not incredibly complex to set up. Table 1 contains projects with various fields Table 2 contains the leads for the projects, with various fields including the project ID corresponding to table 1. Each project will have exactly 1 lead and each lead will only have 1 project. Table 3 contains other team members with various fields. There will be at least one in addition to the lead for every project, but often there will be more than one, up to around twenty. This table contains the ID for the project and lead each team member works with, and no team member will ever have more than one project/lead. I'd like to combine these into a report in a format like: Header with all project fields Project 1 Header with all lead fields Lead for project 1 Header with all team member fields Team member 1 of XX for project 1 Team member 2 of XX for project 1 .... Then the same for project 2 and so on. I can see how I would do this with code, or with a really complicated spreadsheet with lots of counts, lookups and helper collumns, but I'm hoping Power BI can help me find a simple-ish solution. Thanks for any advice!453Views0likes0CommentsAlternative to Nested Lookups to Bridge Unrelated Datasets
Hi, I'm trying to find an alternative to nested lookup tables (which aren't allowed in Report Builder) that allow me to do the following: I want to bring data from Dataset 3 into a table that initially had data from Dataset 1 in. I can create a lookup with Dataset 1 and 2, or I can create one with 2 and 3. However I cannot use a nested lookup for 1 and 3 and don't know what else is possible. What function can I use to bridge Dataset 1 and 3? Dataset 1 Col1 Col2 1 a 2 b 3 c 4 d 5 e 6 f Dataset 2 Col2 Col3 a 7 b 8 c 9 d 10 e 11 f 12 Dataset 3 Col3 Col4 7 g 8 h 9 i 10 j 11 k 12 l Much appreciated, WillSolved1KViews0likes2Comments
