Dimension table to filter another dimension table

Hi all, 

 

I am creating a star schema structure like this 

babyjb1979_0-1691163156355.png

Both tables are connected by "Project ID". I hope to use "Division" in Submittal table to filter "Response Time" in Performance table. When I put three "Project ID" together, Looks like Power BI is not happy.

What can I do. Anyone can provide a suggestion?

Thank you in advance.

Branko

In my view, PBI is getting confused and not knows what exactly you want to see and not able to write DAX and It is by design.

 

To overcome, I created a measure like CountRows in the Project table and add that measure to your Table visual. The error is gone.

In typical use, we may be using dim values in our visuals and not all three.
