More of a general question, but it will apply many times to the reports I am building with this dataset. Data is coming from a MySQL server where I am able to create views.
The players table contains data like this:
| player_id | player_name | org_id |
| 1 | Jennifer Smith | 1 |
| 2 | Adrian Wells | 2 |
The org table contains data like this:
| org_id | org_name |
| 1 | Blue Team |
| 2 | Red Team |
I want to be able to slice player data by org_name. Even when I set the relationships, I can't seem to create a slicer that shows org_name.
My questions: First, am I missing something that would allow me to create this slicer without either adding a new column in Power BI or creating a view with this data at the source? Second, for a largish data set (~750k rows), am I better off adding a calculated column showing org_name in the players table or creating a view in the database that I import into Power BI?
