Change relationship based on graph selection

Hello, 

 

I am wondering if there i s a proper way to handle multiple relationships when a user selects a bar graph value to filter a table based off of that new relationship. Currently I have a date dim related to my fact using a forecast date as the active relationship. I have another relationship for actual date. I have two bar grpahs for testing one plotting expected closuers by month using the forecast date and another graph to show closure by month using the actual date. How would i be able to let the user select for example Jan 2025 and see the ones that were actually closed and not which are forecasted to be closed?  

Is it possible or would I need two seperate pages? Or should I just use the actual date as my active relationship?

Hello @ElvirBotic 

 

You can achieve this using USERELATIONSHIP in a measure instead of changing the active relationship.

 

ActualClosures =
CALCULATE(
COUNT(FactTable[ID]),
USERELATIONSHIP(DateDim[Date], FactTable[ActualDate])
)

Use this measure in your table visualization.

When a user selects a bar from the Actual Closures graph, it will filter based on Actual Date.

No need for separate pages
