Joining and filtering data from multiple sources

I'm relatively new to Power BI and trying to wrap my head around how to combine, join, and filter data from 3 different datasets into a single report. Here's a quick breakdown of what I'm trying to accomplish:

 

Dataset 1:

This is a spreadsheet provided by an external vendor that contains customer names and addresses.

 

Dataset 2:

This is a spreadsheet provided by an external vendor that contains customer names and sales unit details. This data does NOT contain customer address; It has customer names only.

 

Dataset 3:

This is a spreadsheet from our internal operations that contains a mapping of sales reps to zip codes (hundreds of zip codes per sales rep).

 

So....ultimately what I'd like to end up with is the sales data from dataset 2 that's filterable by sales rep. I know I need to take zip code and sales rep data from dataset 3, match it to the zip codes and customer names in dataset 1, and then match the customer names from dataset 1 to the customer names in dataset 2 which would ultimately give me the sales data. I hope that all makes sense. Can anyone point me in the right direction to help me figure out how I can build this out?
