Adding Calculated Columns with data linked through 3 tables

I am trying to add a calculated column to Table A. The data I want (FullName) is in Table C. Each record in Table A has a PrincipalSecurityUserId on it (no null values). I need Table B to link Table ...

    See if this helps. Create the two columns in Request2 as below.

     

     

     

    PrincipalSecurityName = 
VAR A = Request2[PrincipalSecurityUserId]
VAR B = CALCULATE(MAX(SecurityUser[UserId]),FILTER(ALL(SecurityUser),SecurityUser[SecurityUserId]=A))
RETURN CALCULATE(MAX(User[FullName]),FILTER(ALL(User),User[UserId]=B))

     

     

     

    FulfillmentSecurityName = 
VAR A = Request2[FulfillmentSecurityUserId]
VAR B = CALCULATE(MAX(SecurityUser[UserId]),FILTER(ALL(SecurityUser),SecurityUser[SecurityUserId]=A))
RETURN CALCULATE(MAX(User[FullName]),FILTER(ALL(User),User[UserId]=B))

     

     

    Based on the sample data, I got this output

     

    Let us know.

     

     

    Edit:

     

    I am assuming the path is right

    User[userid]-> securityuser(userid)  and securityuser(securityuserid) ->Reqest2(principalsecurityuserid)

    User[userid]-> securityuser(userid)  and securityuser(securityuserid) ->Reqest2(Fullfilmentsecurityuserid)

VasTg  - I tried to move things around to make the data model easier to see the lines. I also deleted a couple of tables from the model that I realized I don't need. But I don't think it changed any of the active relationships.

I went thru the datamodel and relationships. For you to bring in the User name from User(Table C) dimension to Request2(Table A), there is already a direct relationship exist. Simple you could create a calculated column as below. But it is not necessary to build a visual.

 

 

 

UserName = Related(User[FullName])

 

 

 

Let us know if it didn't work.
