Hi All,
Just a few questions. I'm relatively new to powerbi so bare with me 
1) I've got two tables from a mssql database that im direct querying against - sales and product. both have an "account manager" column. when i create visual displays, i have to click each account manager individually rather than powerbi recognise that "john smith" in both columns is the one and the same john smith.. how do i go about telling powerbi they are the same value essentially?
2) similar to the above, how can i get my powerbi reports to dynamically show sales for this month, next month and the next when direct querying.. or do i need to change to import mode?
I'm currently using powerbi desktop, if that helps.
