Alternative to UserRelationship

Hello, 

 

I've recently implemented RLS and now my measures using UseRelationship have to be replaced. 

 

I've tried duplicating the table and setting two active relationships, but my main problem is that due to the cross-filtering on the active relationships my data is filtered and the numbers are no longer accurate. An inactive relationship does not fitler my data, so UserRelationship was ideal.

 

I'm open to any suggestions and thank you for your time!

Yes, RLS will not be affected by inactive relationship. So I'm afraid the only is to reconstruct the table relationship between the tables without using cross-filtering.

I dont know how it interacts with RLS but you could try using TREATAS to create a virtual relationship

TREATAS doesn't quite solve my problem but I appreciate your help.
