  • Anonymous there can only be one active relatoinship between two tables but other relations will be inactive, you can create measure and use userelationship function to make inactive relationship active and then use measures in your visual. read more here

     

    Would appreciate Kudos 🙂 if my solution helped.

  • Hi,

    You will have to create inactive relationships and thenuse the USERELATIONSHIP() function within your measures.  To get more specific help, share some data, explain the business context and show the desired result.

    Right, either use 3 date/calendar tables. Or, use three relationships (2 inactive) and use USERELATIONSHIP in measures for 2 of them. Or, don't create a relationship at all and put the logic in your measures (3 of them). See if my Time Intelligence the Hard Way provides a different way of accomplishing what you are going for.
