Relationship on Both Tables/Entities

Is it necessary to create a relationship 1:N and N:1 on both the Parent and Child tables, respectively? What is the effect or benefit this will have?

    It depends on what you are trying to achieve, typically 1:N and N:1 between 2 entities simply means 1:1 relationship.

    Hi @w1sd0m ,

     

    When you add the lookup field to the child entity related to the Parent entity Dataverse will automatically create the 1:N and N:1 relationships respectively.  You don't need to create these manually.

    Hi, 

     

    I have two excel tables, in the first one I record employee data, in the second I record employees manager data. In the first one I have a column with the identier of the manager. I want to relate both tables so in the gallery I get the name of the manager instead of the idetifier of the manager. How I can do that?

    Hi @yamaing ,

     

    Can you please create a new issue / question vs. adding on to an already solved one?  This way you will be able to mark the answer verified and it won't have two different items combined.
