PowerPivot - How do I establish a relationship between a table's columns to another table?
I'm beginning my first PowerPivot, but I'm starting to think my setup is completely wrong, or maybe PowerPivot isn't the right approach.
I have two tables: A huge table of wages per week for multiple sub departments, and a table that lists information for each department.
Two Tables Sample
I added the tables to the data model, and immediately realized I didn't know how to establish the relationship between the two since one column in the department table is related to all the columns except the date column in the Wages Table.
My end goal is to have data I can control with slicers that can show data that matches data in the Departments Table - show only Wages for Departments that are Overtime for department X, show data for all departments but only overtime, etc.
Is there an easy way to establish the relationship, or do I need to setup my data differently?
Sample Data is below if it helps.

Thanks in advance.
