PivotTable Error with Relationships using Data Model

Hi guys,

I have these 2 related tables by the CodEjeEstrategico field:

 

What I need to get is this PivotTable result:

However, all of the data of the Table1 is repeated in every row of the Table 2, as you can see in the following image:

And I don't know how to solve it, I really hope you can help me. This is the same problem I have with another Excel which has more related tables and much more data.

 

I'm attaching the file.

Thank you very much in advance.

 

Greetings

Humberto

    Most probably for you data like in this model

    rows selected as

    What to do is to add one more column into main table with related fielld

    and make Pivot Table on it

    or simply land the table back into the sheet with DAX expression like

    (Data->Existing Connections->Open Table 1, right click on it, Table->Edit DAX->select DAX).

    Hi all,

    I have a similar issue as the one that has opened this post.

     

    However, in my case, it is not possible to create a RELATED column,because entities are linked by date, and a more complex network of relationships.

     

    I am having the same issue of getting a Pivot Table with repeated labels, that do not belong to the specific headings.

     

    This is the relationships diagram:

     

     

    Bellow, the relationship list:

     

     

    This are the fields I am using to generate the Pivot Table from the Data Model:

     

     

    And this is the pivot table I get as a result, where lots of entries appear as blank in a category where they don't even exist (all labels in that column appear repeted inside every single level from the previous category):

    I expect you have the relationship in the wrong direction. Where it currently shows a 1 (left-hand side of the arrow) it should show the * and vice versa.

      Hi Jan,

      Thanks for answering. In this case, the relationship is ok, given that one record or the table1 could be related with one or more than one record of the table 2, and by the way, it is the Excel that makes that kind of relation.
