Use USERELATIONSHIP more than twice in a single measure

Hi,

 

I'm trying to create a measure that will use the slicers that I have. The three slicers are Date, Company and Owner

 

I am able to use the USERELATIONSHIP function twice and it works fine with the slicers etc but I have problems when I try to add the third

 

This is what I get when I add the third USERELATIONSHIP

This is what the relationships looks like

Here's the PBIX file

Cheers,

Mike

@michael_knight your model design is poor, you should create seperate table for owner and company and create relationship of these new tables with forecast and comp, and make all relationship active

 

don't have relationship between comp and forecasr tables, 

 

when above all done, use column from respective dimension table and measure from forecast and comp table and everything will work as expected.

 

@Anonymous check if this sensitivity labels get what you are looking for, I cannot think of anything else.

Cheers guys @amitchandak  @parry2k 

 

I created another table with the Company name in and stuck with the orginal Owner relationships. The reason being is that we use live data and the owners change quite frequently, and the USERELATIONSHIP function works with twices so I'm happy with that

 

I am still learning about Power BI and I think relationships is somewhere I can improve. I've heard a lot about Star Schemas so maybe I need to learn how to do that 

 

Cheers,

Mike

@michael_knight , YOu nee check why you have many to many between forecast and comp. Can this be made 1-M. Need of composite key?

Try to have a bridge table

But you need to avoid the loops in join
