Hello,
this is more a generic question where I try to get an idee how this can work.
I'm working with MS Dynamics NAV (ERP solution) as the main data source.
In a perfect world every data source is well designed and all the information are stored in each field of each row.
BUT in the normal world users forget to type in information - like a "Contract no" in a purchase invoice.
To follow this example:
When the user then post the purchase invoice in the system, the system generates general ledger entries.
These entries are the base for the reports in PowerBI.
So, several general ledger entries missed data in the column "Contract no" and I can't solve the issue in the base systems (NAV) because it is not allowed to change gl entries afterwards.
So: How can I solve this data-cleaning-issue? In PowerBI or with another soltution?
To be clear, there is no way to get this information from another source - somebody have to deside manualy which value belongs to the empty fields.
I don't think it is a unique issue, but I didn't find a generic solution or design pattern about this.
Best regards,
Tristan
