    Hi ANKITBISANI,

    You are only able to create inactive relationship between Final Data table and Dimention range. In Power BI Desktop, only one relationship can be active between a Fact table and Dimension table.

    In your scenario, as mentioned in the above waring, there is an active set of indirect relationship(Final Data can be reached via this path: Dimention range->Final Data(2)->Dimention_State->Final Data) already exists between Final Data table and Dimension range, thus you are not able to create another active relationship between Final Data table and Dimention range. However, with inactive relationship, you can you can create using USERELATIONSHIP function.

     

    Thanks,
