Sorry for the delay in my response. I created a bridge table to avoid having both directional filtering and it solved the problem.

 

Thanks heaps for your helping hand here.

@Anonymous Cross filter direction is in the Model view in your relationships. It should usually be set to Single, so that's one way to solve this. If you can share more details on your relationships in your model we can advise if the both is needed or how to work around it for why it was put in.
