How to use columns as filters from different tables for measures

Hello! 

 

I have created a measures table (measures_counts_by_date) which has counts for number of occurences based on the date from another table (litigations). It works in reports when I am using columns only from the litigations table. 

 

However, I would like to use columns from other tables such as sightings , producers etc. for my reports. As I have seen this does not work with the measure. 

 

The measure is calculated in the following way: 

closed_count = CALCULATE(COUNT(litigations[id]), USERELATIONSHIP(dates[Date],litigations[closed_at]))

 

Should I somehow create a relationship between my measures table and the other tables in order to be able to use columns from other tables? 

 

 

I will be happy if you share the best practice in this scenario.

 

Many thanks!

Use Related/RelatedTable function if there are relations, otherwise use Lookupvalue functions.
