Data Model - filter through column with list of Quarters and normal quarters column

[DavidPorTodos]

Hi Community,

I have a complex data model  with several Dimensions and Fact tables.

In my example i'll talk about 2 Fact tables, one has start date and end date, the other one just a quarter and years.

The Client would love to filter through both tables sometimes by year, sometimes by quarter and see how the measures changes over time.

I have created in the Table 1 with start date and end date a column that groups the list of quarter between the start date and the end date, then related this column to a bridge table with just unique values inside this column (Table "BridgeYearQuarter")

BridgeYearQuarter is then related to another bridge ("MidYearQuarterList") including the Quarters and all combination from the "BridgeYearQuarter" (pict2). I had to set the relationship as BOTH.

Finally this second bridge is related to my "DimYearQuarter" with all unique Quarters that will be offered as a filter to the customer.

Pict1 - Data model

Pict2 - "BridgeYearQuarter"

Now my measures are working just partially, I believe due to the Both relationships set, and show me the right results when the calculation is done year by year and wrong results when it should work on the total.

My KPIs are acting the same and if I cretae Measureslike AVG or Median of the values through several years then just the last year is taken into consideration.

Help please

Hi @DavidPorTodos,

It seems like a common date range analysis requirement, perhaps you can take a look at Greg’s blog 'start date', 'end date' part if helps:

I have tried this approach as well

Unfortunately the error persists when creating simple measures.
