Make relationship active with more than 1 column

In my Fact table I have 2 columns (overdue and completed) and those are connected to dimension table "Status" column is related to Overdue and completed columns.
However I can make it only one active.

for a "Completed" chart I want a connection with "Completed and Status"
for a "Overdue" chart I want a connection with "Overdue and Status"

what is the best way make 2 columns active dynamically?

Fact Table
========
Overdue
Completed


dimension table
===========

Order --- for sorting
Status --- <1 week completed, <2 weeks completed, 1 week overdue, 2weeks overdue
Type --- completed/overdue

 

 

I want to show as shown in the pictures.

2 options: 
Option 1: use USERELATIONSHIP on the measure that is being referenced by the graph. Filter the graph to either completed or overdue
example:
TotalOverDueBooks = Calculate(COUNTDISTINCT(BookID), USERELATIONSHIP('FactTable'[ Overdue],'DimTable'[Status] ) 

TotalCompletedBooks = Calculate(COUNTDISTINCT(BookID), USERELATIONSHIP('FactTable'[ Completed],'DimTable'[Status] ) 

Click on graph: Add DimTable[Type] to the "Filters on this visual". Set the filter to Type  = complete or overdue appropriate to the graph in question

Opion 2: Split the dimension into two dimensions DimComplete, DimOverdue. You are treating them separately anyway.

It already have active connection with "week Completed" column. so trying to make it active with "Overdue" col.

I already tried this but no luck.

 

SortByOverdue = CALCULATE (
    SELECTEDVALUE(StatusOrder_DIM[Status]) ,
    USERELATIONSHIP('OMIE Data'[Weeks Overdue],'StatusOrder_DIM'[Status] )
