Handle Inactive Relationship for Count Measures
I have an Employee table with Joining Date and Emp ID.
I also have a DimDate table with date values.
Note: The Joining Date in Employee Table and the Date field in DimDate table have only InActive Relationship.
I have a year slicer in my report connected to DimDate table - Date field.
Now I need the count of employess who joined on that selected year mentioned in slicer.
How to do it. Please help.
Hi Anonymous ,
You can create a measure as below:
Count of employees = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Employee'[Employee ID] ), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Employee'[Date], 'DimDate'[Date] ) )In addition, you can refer the content in the following links to achieve it.

Build a matrix visual.
Rows: Year
Values: distinct count of employee ID
This is assuming the date table is related to the employees table by joining date.
