Helper IMultiple connecting relationships
Hello,
What you are trying to do is similar to handling role playing dimensions within power bi which is not possible due to the limitation of only 1 active join (relationship)
The ugly solution is to import "Resource_Data_Table" twice with different names into Power BI desktop, as if they are separate tables. Then you can an have active relationship to each table
I came across the following alternative method, in which a table can be 'cloned' within power bi, so you can clone Resource_Data_Table to a different name and use it for the 2nd join (relationship)

Advocate IIThe article below has another method if the values from the two joins (relationships) need to appear side-by-side. It involves writing a DAX expression. In short, DAX expressions can use an inactive relationship to fetch values, which is what happening here
