Hi @Powerbidev1,

 

The DirectQuery table can only touch 1 active relationship at a time. This is considered a chained dataset. You can link to another table and then link back to your date table but you can't link it together directly.

 

An alternative is to make your Date table an import and then link the two together.

Hi @Powerbidev1 ,

 

You can import all your data using the AAS connection and then build your relationships in that manner.
