Calculated Use Relationship is not returning count

Hi Team, 

 

I have two tables that are joined together by an inactive relationship, many to many both directions.


Table A: Name

Table B: CompletedByName

 

My measure is not returning the desired result:

 

This is my measure which is a calculated measure: 

 

CALCULATE(

COUNTROWS(Table A),

TREATAS(VALUES('Table A'[Name]), Table B[CompletedByName])

)

 

Any ideas? This has been going no where for me for a few hours

Hi @albertax 

Your relationship is inactive, you need to use USERELATIONSHIP() function to active the relationship.

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( 'Table A' ),
    USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Table A'[Name], 'Table B'[CompletedByName] )
)

 And you can refer to the following information about the function.

USERELATIONSHIP function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
