Understanding a Conflicting Filter Situation
Anonymous , do you have a bi-directional relationship? If yes, make them single direction. This should not happen in case the date is coming from the date table and the user from the user table in a single direction relationship.

amitchandak , the fact table I am currently working with doesn't have a bi-directional relationship.
However, one of the other fact tables that is connecting to the user and date table does have a bi-directional relationship between the fact and date table. I have found that when I remove the users table relationship to this particular fact table, then I can filter by both the user column and date table.
I don't understand bi-directional relationships enough to understand why this causes a conflict with the filter. I'll have to learn more to understand this.But more importantly, now I need to understand why PowerBI is forcing this one fact table to have a bi-directional relationship with the date table. I am unable to do a single direction relationship for some reason. I will research this, but if you have any thoughts on this, I'm all ears.
Thank you for your quick response and help!-Caleb
