Related in composite model

Greetings,

I have a two tables, one that is imported(Products), the other is DirectQuery(Lignes_A). There is a many to one relationship (Lignes_A being many and Products being one). I'm trying to use the related function to get the value "family" that is in Products. Related even recognize the products table as a related table, but once I valid the Dax, it says it isn't possible because these tables arent related.

From what I could gather, this is basically an issue that's been going around for a year now. How can I go around this issue?

Here's the Dax query I've come up with (which was working while I still had everything on import, but due to size is not a viable option):

 

SpentDuringRebate = SUMX(FILTER(LIGNES_A,
RELATED(PIEDS_A[ID_FOU]) = 'reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[SupplierId] &&
('reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[ExcludedFamille] = BLANK() || 'reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[ExcludedFamille] <> RELATED(Products[FAMILY])) &&
('reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[ExcludedRayon] = BLANK() || 'reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[ExcludedRayon] = RELATED(Products[RAYON])) &&
('reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[RestrictedFamille] = BLANK() || 'reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[ExcludedRayon] <> RELATED(Products[FAMILY])) &&
('reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[RestrictedRayon] = BLANK() || 'reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[RestrictedRayon] = RELATED(Products[RAYON])) &&
RELATED(PIEDS_A[DATE]) >= 'reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[DateStart] &&
RELATED(PIEDS_A[DATE]) < 'reporting SupplierRebatesRules'[DateEnd]),
[TOT_NET_HT])

 

And here's an image of my relationships. I highlighted the foreign keys. Does anyone know what I can use instead of Related, as it is not working?

it seems there are at least 4 tables used here:

'LIGNES_A'

'PIEDS_A'

'reporting SupplierRebatesRules'

'Products'

plus whatever table is being used in [TOT_NET_HT]

 

Can you add sample tables (in format that can be copied to PowerBI) from your model with anonymised data? Like this (just copy and paste into the post window).

Column1 Column2
A 1
B 2.5

Maybe there is a way to achieve the same result without using RELATED, but in order to see if it's possible I would need to see the data
