help with Slicer and Relationship mess

So I have a bit of an issue getting my slicers to work...

 

On one particular graph, I have Bookings vs Forecast. They are in different tables. The axis is from a Master Date source that formats the dates how I need them to look (some values are monthly, weekly, daily). There is a 4th table that is in play here which is where I am running into the problems. It contains Master Data (classification, stocking strategy, origin, end location, lead time, etc.). When I go to make the relationships I cannot link them together the way I need to.

 

Forecast connects to Master Date. Bookings connects to Master Date. But I can't get Master Data to connect to both Bookings and Forecast at the same time. I've tried duplicating, merging, appending, but nothing seems to work.

 

Is there a way to set-up a slicer that effects two different table without being related to them?

 

Ask questions if this makes no sense. I can provide screenshots in a bit if that would be helpful.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Current power bi not allow you to active multiple major relationship mapping.

Bidirectional relationships and ambiguity in DAX
You can turn off some relationships mappings and write measure with userelationship function to calculate result based on specific relationship.

USERELATIONSHIP in Calculated Columns
