I am trying to summarize total items using inactive relations, which i am able to do separately using "userelationship" function. I have 3 inactive relations to different dimension tables. Everything looks great when I visualize them separately. The challenge is when cross-filtering the visuals, The filter doesn't flow to other Tables as they don't have active relations.
I tried using the below function which doesn't work. Even tried replacing Userelationship with "CrossFilter" which dint help.
CALCULATE (
[Total items],
USERELATIONSHIP ( Date[Date], DataTable[CreatedDate] ),
USERELATIONSHIP ( dimAging[OpenAge_Bucket], DataTable[Open_Age_Bucket]),
USERELATIONSHIP (dimType[Open_type],DataTable[Open_type])
)
This is how my relationship looks:Relationship
Below is my challenge on getting cross-filtering working

@Sabarikumar7579 , The formula seems correct , Check createddate so not have any timestamp (Change datatype to datetime and use a format with date and check )
Try like
CALCULATE (CALCULATE (CALCULATE (
[Total items],
USERELATIONSHIP ( Date[Date], DataTable[CreatedDate] )),
USERELATIONSHIP ( dimAging[OpenAge_Bucket], DataTable[Open_Age_Bucket])),
USERELATIONSHIP (dimType[Open_type],DataTable[Open_type])
)
If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
