Selecting a measure based on one of two relationships between a fact and dimension table?

I need 2 measures that use 1 of 2 measures in a fact table, the measure selected is to be based on the two joins with the dimension table.
The Fact table has 2 Product codes (Product 1 and Product 2) and 2 measures -Measure1 and Measure 2.
I have a Product dimension with a Product code.
Join 1 = Dim.Productcode = Fact.Productcode_1 (active relationship)
Join 2 =  Dim.Productcode = Fact.Productcode_2 (inactive relationship).

My new measures
ProductMeasure1 needs to be to use join 1 and sum(Measure1) 
ProductMeasure2 needs to be to use join 2 and sum(Measure2) .

ProductMeasure1 seems to work:-
ProductMeasure1 = SUMX(FILTER( 'FactTable'
, RELATED('DimTable'[Productcode])
= FactTable[Fact.Productcode_1]
)
,FactTable[Measure1])

ProductMeasure2 doess not work because of the USERELATIONSHIP, probably not place or construction:-
ProductMeasure1 = SUMX(FILTER( 'FactTable'
, RELATED('DimTable'[Productcode]) 
I need to use this relationship : USERELATIONSHIP('FactTable'[Productcode2],'DimTable'[Productcode])
= FactTable[Fact.Productcode_2]
)
,FactTable[Measure2])

Any ideas or other solutions ?

Thanks in advance

@KeenEye , it should be like

 

For join 1 , you need a measure like // Dim.Productcode = Fact.Productcode_1 (active relationship)

 

calculate(Sum(FactTable[Measure1]) )

 

for join 2

calculate(Sum(FactTable[Measure1]),USERELATIONSHIP('FactTable'[Productcode2],'DimTable'[Productcode]) )
