Activating Date slicer by USERELATIONSHIP function

Hello!
In my fact table I have two date columns; creation_dateTime and Delivery_dateTime.
In need to use two date slicers in my report for both date columns. 
The Delivery_dateTime column has non active relationship with my dim_date table. 
How can I activate the Delivery_DateTime column and to use it in a  licer and to filter all report?
 
I created this query but it didn't work.
 
Delivery_Date =
CALCULATE(DISTINCT(Fact_Orders[od_Delivery_DateTime]),USERELATIONSHIP(Fact_Orders[od_Delivery_DateTime],Dim_Dates[Date]))

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Try measure as:

Delivery = 
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCT(Fact_Orders[od_Delivery_DateTime]),
    ALLSELECTED ( Dim_Dates[Date] ),
    USERELATIONSHIP(Fact_Orders[od_Delivery_DateTime],Dim_Dates[Date])
)

@Anonymous if you want two date slicers, you need to have another date table in your model which has a relationship with the delivery date. Userelationship function is useful when you have a single slicer and want to visualize data on both on creation date and delivery date.
