Distinct count of two column with summarize does not work with userelationship()

Hi community, 

I use DAX code and relation ship below to try to distinctcount by HN and Date. The calculation work well if I have active relationship between  d_date_table[Date]  and  f_visit_info[Date].

Problem is : When I switch relationship between  d_date_table[Date]  and  f_visit_info[Date] to inactive and use userelationship() as the code below, it's does not work.

Campus Visit =
  VAR _table = SUMMARIZE('f_visit_info','f_visit_info'[visit_date],"distinctcount",DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK('f_visit_info'[hn]))
RETURN  CALCULATE(
  SUMX(_table,[distinctcount]),
  USERELATIONSHIP('d_date_table'[Date],f_visit_info[visit_date])
)

When relationship is intactive, result is as below : 

tanat_inc_1-1620788357210.png

While the same code with active relationship provides the right result as below : 

tanat_inc_2-1620788419940.pngtanat_inc_4-1620788490705.png

 

How should I rewrite the code to be able to inactivate relation and use "userelationship()" fuction in measure instrad.

@tanat_inc , Try a measure like

 

Campus Visit =
VAR _table = SUMMARIZE('f_visit_info','f_visit_info'[visit_date],"distinctcount",calculate(DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK('f_visit_info'[hn]),
USERELATIONSHIP('d_date_table'[Date],f_visit_info[visit_date])))
RETURN CALCULATE(
SUMX(_table,[distinctcount])
)
