USERELATIONSHIP not working?

I have the following relationships in my data model:

Sohan_0-1669123752242.png

 

There is an active relationship between DimCalendar[Datum] and FactAppointment[Datum afspraak]. There is an inactive relationship between DimCalendar[Datum] and FactAppointment[Boeking afspraak]. 

 

When using the following DAX I get the wrong results: 

NP = 

var numberOfNewPatients = 
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(FactAppointment[PatientID]),
FILTER(FactAppointment, FactAppointment[EarliestDateBoeking] = TRUE() && FactAppointment[EarliestDateAfspraak] = TRUE()))

var finalMeasure = 
CALCULATE(numberOfNewPatients, USERELATIONSHIP(FactAppointment[Datum boeking], DimCalendar[Datum]))

RETURN finalMeasure

 
When I manually deactivate the relationship between DimCalendar[Datum] and FactAppointment[Datum afspraak] and activate the relationship between DimCalendar[Datum] and FactAppointment[Boeking afspraak] I get the correct result. 

 

Does Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Be careful when using VAR. DAX Variable is actually a constant value: once defined, it never changes. So in your case, the filter argument with USERELATIONSHIP is actually useless.  Following your thread of thought, you can try to create a intermediate measure and it shall work.

Tried an intermediate measure, but get the same result.

try to add a physical column.

a imtermediate measure is not working in your case, because

a measure is implicitely wrapped with CALCULATE. So it is like this

CALCULATE(

    CALCULATE,

    USERELATIONSHIP()

)

 

As the filter argument of the inner CALCULATE has higher priority over its outer filter context (from USERELATIONSHIP), so again USERELATIONSHIP is useless.
