Relationship not working

Hi All,

  I've run into another issue i cannot comprehend. 

  So i have 4 tables :

  RAW_In

  RAW_out

  RAW_error

  __Calendar

 

  Each of RAW tables is having creation date column that i want to connect to calendar table.

  RAW_in and RAW_out works without issues, but in case of RAW error relationship is not working. See below :

RAW_error sample data :

CREATION_DATE
Wednesday, July 8, 2020
Friday, January 17, 2020
Tuesday, June 2, 2020
Tuesday, June 2, 2020
Tuesday, March 24, 2020

 

RAW_in sample data :

CREATION_DATE
Friday, January 31, 2020
Friday, January 31, 2020
Friday, January 31, 2020
Friday, January 31, 2020
Friday, January 31, 2020
Friday, January 31, 2020

 

RAW_out sample data :

CREATION_DATE
Thursday, January 9, 2020
Thursday, January 9, 2020
Thursday, January 9, 2020
Thursday, January 9, 2020
Thursday, January 9, 2020

 

I want to use __Calendar[Date] to filter visuals being a combination like :

*Bar/Line chart, where Bars are RAW_in/out and line is RAW_errors.

 

Can any1 advise why this isn't working ?

I've tried deleting relationship and putting it back on both manual and using relationship manager but neither does work.

@burnt_fingers - Define "not working". Looks like all of the relationships are active. What is causing you to believe that a relationship is not working?

Mainly this :

But also this

I tried adding columns in RAW_Errors Table using RELATED(__Calendar[Week]) , interesting fact is that tooltip picks up the relationship and enables autocompletition with Tab, but column is just blank.

@burnt_fingers one of the bad thing in this model I see is that cross filter direction to  both, make it single direction, I don't see the reason why you have all the relations set to both direction.

All,

  It was my mistake. While formatting was set , the actual data type in RAW_Errors was Date/Time. After switching to Date only relationship kicked in.

 

Thanks for your assistance all !
