Inactive relationships in visuals
Not sure if this is possible, but wanted to through it out there:
I have a table table that shows a "snapshot" of data at various intervals (in this case, quarters). In other words, every quarter when I load the data, I load in all of the detail records, with an "analysis date" serving as the "key" ( and the join to the date table).
I can then add calculated columns to populate the "previous quarter" value of certain fields (status, stage, etc). One of these fields is "score", which calculates out to A, B, C or D based on numerical values. A,B,C,D each map to a color (green, beige, yellow, red), stored in a dimension table. There is an active relationship between "score" and "color" and an inactive relationship between "prev q score" and color (in the model diagram below "MC" is A,B,C,D). To calculate a measure using the "prev q" score, I can use USERELATIONSHIP, so no problem there.
The problem I have is trying to do a visualization using both the current color and previous color as a dimension (trying to show summarized changes per color and stage quarter over quarter, so for instance "Green"/"In Progress" would be -1). I can write individual measures (with USERELATIONSHIP for previous q) for each quarter's (current and previous) color/stage combo, but that seems like a lot of "hard coding" and not conducive for showing multiple measures in one table (and I'm unsure how those would interact with other slicers).
Am I overthinking this, missing something fundamental or trying to do the impossible?
Thanks,
David

Hi dedelman_clng,
Why not active the relationship between "prev q score" and “color”? In addtion, a slicer can filter other chart but other charts can't except slicer can't filter a slicer.

The relationship between "current color" and "color" is used throughout ther rest of the dashboard so it is the primary, active relationship
