Using two related columns within sumx causes error

I have a sumx function that first gets a value

if fact[date1] > related(table2'[date2]), 1, 0

 

I then use the filter function after sumx to filter by the fact table

 

Upto here the code runs fine. its when I try to filter by another 3rd table it causes an error

 

RELATED('table3[column1]) <> "Value"

 

This causes an error

 

FULL CODE BELOW:

 

CALCULATE (
    SUMX (
        'FACT TABLE',
        IF ( 
            [date1] > RELATED('table2'[date2]),
                1,
                0
        )
    ),
    'FACT TABLE'[Column2] <> "VALUE"
    RELATED('table3'[column3]) <> "VALUE"
)

I don't think you need RELATED for that, you can simply use 'table3'[column3] <> "value"

ok thanks for that never knew if its in the filter function you don't need to use related. the filter function must just automatically detect the relationship. anyways thanks for that

Hi @akhaliq7 

please try

=
COUNTROWS (
FILTER (
'FACT TABLE',
'FACT TABLE'[date1] > RELATED ( 'table2'[date2] )
&& 'FACT TABLE'[Column2] <> "VALUE"
&& RELATED ( 'table3'[column3] ) <> "VALUE"
)
)
