Hello all, I'm fairly new to Power BI and would appreciate some assistence with creating a relationship between my date table and a key table. Below is a screen shot of my data model:
I currently don't have a relationship between my date table and the Query1 table because I would only have specific to the dates that are for whatever date column I've added to Query1. Since I have many different date column from various tables, I'm not sure how to create a relationship between all of those date columns and my date table - assuming I'd use the date column from the date table as my unique key to join on. I've looked up various tutorials on creating a date table, and it appears I need a foreign date key on the Query1 table which I could then use to connect everything. However, I'm not sure if that solution would solve my problem.
I hope this is enough info, but if not please let me know and I'll be happy to show more.
Thanks!

Hi @RedHare
You can only create one Active relationship between your date tabel and Query1. However you can add Inative relationships to the reste of date columns in Query1 and then use DAX to do calculations as you wish.

Yeah, I'm aware of only being able to have 1 active relationship, but I was hoping to not have to write much DAX. Any ideas on how I could do this?
Create many date tables then..
