Your Power BI model contains two tables loaded from separate systems: FinanceTransactions and BudgetForecast. Both tables hold repeated values in the Department column and you must display figures from both tables together in the same visuals. No dedicated Department dimension table exists. When you create a relationship between FinanceTransactions[Department] and BudgetForecast[Department], which combination of cardinality and cross-filter direction should you select so that rows from either table can filter the other?
One-to-many cardinality with cross-filter direction set to Both
One-to-one cardinality with cross-filter direction set to Single
Many-to-one cardinality with cross-filter direction set to Single
Many-to-many cardinality with cross-filter direction set to Both
Because both tables contain multiple rows for the same Department value, neither side is unique. The correct relationship therefore uses many-to-many cardinality. To let filters propagate from each table to the other-required when the two fact-like tables are combined in the same visual-the relationship's cross-filter direction must be set to Both. A many-to-one or one-to-many relationship would fail because one side is not unique, and a single-direction relationship would prevent one table from influencing the other.
