Three way relationships in Entities

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

Please consider the below case and suggest solution.

Master Entity: Consists of information that is consistent i.e. Class students: Name, Age, Address etc.

Child Entity: Consists of Related information i.e. Students information in each semester, Semester 1: Total Marks, subject details, achievements etc.

Sub Child Entity: Consists of related information of Child entity i.e. Marks breakup in each subject for each semester, English: Sem1 : 40, Sem2: 30 etc.

I think I shall create 3 separate entities for this scenario and 3 different forms. 

Sub Child can be added as a grid in Child Form

Student name can be a lookup in Child Entity

How the relations between all 3 entities be set

Can I show a report and display all records from 3 entities in one form

*** Most important: How will I be able to import data from a single sheet excel file.

Please suggest if my understanding and plan is correct and if there is anything I shall be knowing for relations between entities, please let me know.

Regards 

Deepak Kumar
