Hi @Anonymous , 

You can create an active relationship between createdate and date in datetable and an inactive relationship between deliverdate and date in datetable. Use USERELATIONSHIP function when you need the relationship between deliverdate and date in datetable. For more details, please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/userelationship-function-dax

Or you can use TREATAS function without create inactive relationship between deliverdate and date in datetable. It can  apply filter from unrelated table. For more details, please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/treatas-function

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Best Regards,

Option 1 - Try to set relationship direction to Single

Option 2 - Create summarized table with deliver date and build relationship with that table from your master table

@Anonymous Since you can have only active relationship between two tables, your second relationship will be inactive. However, you can still use inactive relationship in your measures. 

Orders Shipped = CALCULATE( sum(Sales) ,USERELATIONSHIP('Date'[CreateDate], Sales[DeliveryDate]) )

refer to below link for more details.
