Using two or more USERELATIONSHIPs

Question

Hi experts,&nbsp;I am trying to sum Quantity by GroupName in the following relationship scenario. Tables are related via the same name fields.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is simplified part of a much more complicated relationship scheme in which I can not have active relationships between these three tables. However, I read that one can use nested USERELATIONSHIP instructions. How do I do that?&nbsp;Thank you.&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;gvg&nbsp;From the tables/relationships you've shown, you should just activate the two relationships simultaneously.&nbsp;The measure should look something like:&nbsp;=
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Sales[Quantity] ),
    USERELATIONSHIP ( Sales[Product], Subgroup[Product] ),
    USERELATIONSHIP ( Subgroup[SubgroupName], Group[SubgroupName] )
)&nbsp;You can also use the CROSSFILTER function with the same effect:&nbsp;&nbsp;=
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Sales[Quantity] ),
    CROSSFILTER ( Sales[Product], Subgroup[Product], OneWay ),
    CROSSFILTER ( Subgroup[SubgroupName], Group[SubgroupName], OneWay )
)Owen :)
