    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)
