Cannot create active relationship
Anonymous
The reason you are getting this message is because both tables have a relationship with the calendar table, and the new filter would create a conflict since it would also indeirectly filter the date field.
The way to solve this is to create a new dimension table containing unique values for country from both tables, and then joining this Country Dimension Table with both your tables in 1:* relationships.
The process is simple. Create a new table in the riboon and type in:
Dimension Country = VAR Table1 = DISTINCT ( Queries_byPage_byDate_byGeo[Country] ) VAR Table2 = DISTINCT ( General_Performance_By_Geo[Country] ) RETURN DISTINCT ( UNION ( Table1, Table2 ) )
Thanks for reply.

Just make sure the syntax for the tables and fields is correct. When writing the DAX, select the appropriate field from each table. For example, my text needs the ' ' to establish the table (which isn't included in the text I wrote. For example:
'Queries_byPage_byDate_byGeo'[Country]Anonymous There's something wrong in the syntax. Let the Intellisense spell out the fields for you.
PaulDBrown, I was using the auto-complete, or say Intellisense spell, still not working, seems I shall use "let...in..." DAX, will post another thread to ask how to get union unique value from tables.
Anyway, thank you for the answers and ideas to resolve this.
