Hi savanahubio,

Based on my test, you should be able to use the formula below to create a new measure to calculate the forecast value, then show the created measure as Line Values on the chart to get the expected result without creating any relationships in your scenario.

Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'POS Forecast'[POS Forecast] ),
    FILTER (
        'POS Forecast',
        CONTAINS (
            'Daily Sales by Item',
            'Daily Sales by Item'[Item Description], 'POS Forecast'[Item Description]
        )
            && 'POS Forecast'[Year] = MAX ( 'Daily Sales by Item'[Year] )
            && 'POS Forecast'[Week Num] = MAX ( 'Daily Sales by Item'[Week Num] )
    )
)

Here is the modified pbix file for your reference. :smileyhappy:

Hi savanahubio,

Could you share a sample pbix file(with just some sample/mock data) which can reproduce the issue, so that we can further assist on it? You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading. :smileyhappy:
