Why does the relationship not work anymore?

2017-03-28 14_19_19-311-dashboard - Power BI Desktop.png

To make it easy to switch time ranges I created selector that let you select among 6 “temporalities”:  this week, this month, this year etc…

 

It is based on 2 extra tables, one, called “Calendar”  that associates each date with the relevant 6 temporality it can be associated with; and a relationship table that contains all the dates and is associated with the dates in calendar on one side and with the event date in the fact tables (actually with 2 dates, the open date and the close date, hence the 2 lines, one dotted, below)

This worked like a charm until I refreshed the data this morning.

I did not change anything to the data model.

The only thing I did is removing the use of USERELATIONSHIP with 2 measures and remove/restore relationships in the project (at some point there was a glitch in the data load that suggested there might be an issue with those metrics).

But today everything is restored as it was yesterday so I don’t understand why

  • The Calendar to AllDates relationship works
  • The Fact table to AllDates relationship works
  • The Fact table to Calendar relationship does not work anymore

Again, it worked as expected; I could pick a temporality from the Calendar table and filter on the related subset in the fact table.

 

What could have possibly happened?

Hi @osinquinvdm,

 

is it possibly down to the cross filtering direction on the relationship. 

 

The 1 to many direction would suggest that the alldates tables filters the table containing the temporalites and not the other way around. 

 

I'm wondering if data refresh has changed the relationship dynamics? 

 

what are the from and to columns on the relationship?

Hi @osinquinvdm

Which relationship do you remove in your data model? Are you unable to filter your visual in the case? If that is the case, please share sample data of your tables and detailed DAX you use to create measures for us to analyze.

Thanks,
