I have pulled in 2 tables from a SQL Server database and I am attempting to link 2 fields under the "Diagram View."

However I receive the following error message:

"The relationship cannot be created because each column contains duplicate values. Select at least one column..."

How do I overcome this? I am aware that the fields have duplicates but that's just the nature of these tables.

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
The question is which of the duplicates is the one you wish to map to??

doing Select Distinct query against both tables ( or create views to do that) then use the queries or the views but which entries you get from the distinct will be a moot point?
(probably the first entry)
