Inactiv Relationship in Calculated column
- 5 years ago
Olenard , In the case of a column related, will not work with inactive relation, and use relation might not work well.
You can use lookupvalue or can use a formula like this
City Name = maxx(FILTER(geography,geography[City Id]=Sales[City Id]),geography[City])

Of course you can change the active relationship when doing calculations in a table. For instance, if you have a simple model like:
with the relationship inactive, you can create the calculated column:
Res = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Col1]), USERELATIONSHIP(DimT[Col1],Table1[Col1]))on table DimT, which will work fine using the otherwise inactive relationship.
It is true that it won't work with RELATED( ) as I suggested earlier but that has nothing to do with USERELATIONSHIP( ) but rather with CALCULATE( ). RELATED( ) requires a row context and that will be lost through context transition when using CALCULATE( ). A calc column in Table1 such as:
New col = CALCULATE( RELATED(DimT[Col2]) )with the an active relationship will not work either, precisely for that reason, while this would:
New col = RELATED( DimT[Col2] )Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving a thumbs up if posts are helpful.

Sorry but you can't change the active relationship when doing calculations in a table. USERELATIONSHIP will have no effect. Your best function to do what you want is LOOKUPVALUE. It's not only the best one. IT'S THE ONLY ONE. You'll find the explanation of this behaviour in one of the articles on www.sqlbi.com.
