    In your example, I can see only one Has Exception column so I dont know which is which -whether that is from dim_runner or dim_staff. What I would do though is to create measures that returns the SELECTEDVALUE of those columns - they might be returning blanks or values other than what are expected - and then add those measures to the viz

     

    HasException_Runner =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'dim_runner'[Has Exception] ) 

HasException_Staff =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'dim_staff'[Has Exception] )

     

    Plese note that if SELECTEDVALUE sees more than one distinct value in the current row context, it will return blank.

Hi Mark_A12 ,

Just circling back one last time. I remember you had identified that the issue was due to a linked table returning multiple values in the Has Exception field, and you were considering rebuilding the model to fix it. Were you able to get everything working smoothly? If so, would happy to hear how you tackled it  could be really helpful for others facing something similar. And of course, if you're still working through it or hit a roadblock, happy to help wherever i can.

Regards,
Akhil.
