I am trying to build a pivot table from the data model (Excel 2013 don't have full use of the Power Pivot tools but what's already in the data tab) I have 5 tables in power query loaded to the data model and my main raw data has a connection to all of them. For some reason my latest table is not making a proper connection. I'm not sure what's happening or why they won't connect! The only issue I have had is with the Absolute Values query. It is connected to the GL Report by User query by username, which is connected to the User Report by username, and I want the full name from the User Report from my table.

I feel like I'm not making sense, let me know if you need any clarification, this is driving me to the mad house!

Hi Jessica,

The User Report does not have a relationship with the Absolute Values table. If you delete the relationship between the GL by User Report table and the Absolute Values table and instead create a relationship between Absolute Values and User Report then your PivotTable displays the correct results. Of course  removing the relationship may have a knock on effect to other PivotTables.

If so, maybe you can bring the Absolute value into the GL by user report in Power Query before loading to PP.
