Hi @jatneerjat,
I created some tables as you described. Based on my test, I can reproduce the issue the same as you by pulling duplicate dates from different tables into one visual.
Actually this is a known issue in Power BI when using groups from a chain of N:1:N relationships. The issue could be fixed by changing the fields from don’t summarize to other options. Also we can work around this issue by adding a model measure to the visual. The DAX generation logic for visual queries treats model measures as if they could relate any combination of groups. Therefore, adding a model measure to a visual effectively disables the check for unconstrained joins that is triggering the error message shown below.
For more details, please check the pbix as attached.

Hi @v-frfei-msft,
It works when i use this date values in slicer but when i drag this into the table then it gives error message as posted by you so i think it worked for me as i removed dont summarize option.
thanks
Hi @jatneerjat,
Does that make sense? If so , could you please mark this answer as a solution?
