How to add a column from another table with inactive relationship

[Gabiiiii]

There are 2 tables in this particular case and they have an inactive 1-m relationship. (because the data model are more complicated, cannot make the relationship active)

The fact table looks like this:

The dimention table(Business Unit) is like this:

I want to add BU_name into the fact table accordingly, and I use:

CALCULATE(LASTNONBLANK(BusinessUnit[BU_name],BusinessUnit[BU_name]),USERELATIONSHIP(Fact_table[BU_id],BusinessUnit[BU_id]))

but it returns the wrong value. 

Can someone help with this problem? Thank you so much!!

Lookupvalue() can also be used in this case which does not depend on relationships in the model.
Column = 
LOOKUPVALUE( Dim[BU_name],Dim[BU_id],fact[BU_id])

Hi @Gabiiiii ,

Create a column as below:-

Column =
CALCULATE (
    LASTNONBLANK ( Dim[BU_name], Dim[BU_name] ),
    FILTER ( Dim, 'Fact'[BU_id] = Dim[BU_id] ),
    USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Fact'[BU_id], Dim[BU_id] )
)

BR,

Same situation in my data.
There is an inactive relationship between two tables and I cant make it active. Because data is complicated.
I want to pull 2 columns from Table B to Table A.
There is a Customer code column for the primary key.

But your solution doesn't work there.

I think most people assume that FILTER is automatically applied as the relationship was set though its inactive.

Thanks Samrath, after adding the FILTER, i am getting the correct value.
