If you want to use a slicer which can slice the PROJETOSEGMENTO measure with Department, you must have active relationship between these tables. It must have a path from Department to PROJETOSEGMENTO.

 

If you just need to slice the measure in DAX, you can use USERELATIONSHIP() to use inactive relationship for your calculation.

Yes, I am using a DAX expression, my problem with USERELATIONSHIP is that I have a series of relationships I need it to consider, so should I use:

USERELATIONSHIP(Department[code];Servprod[codigodepartament];servprod[id];tipoprojeto[servprod_id])

USERELATIONSHIP(Department[code];Servprod[codigodepartament]); USERELATIONSHIP(;servprod[id];tipoprojeto[servprod_id])

ETC....

    You can only specify two columns to use the inactive relationship between them.

    Hi inescosta,

     

    Why don't you add a colum in the tiposProjecto with the Department using the Lookupvalue formula?

     

    Looking at you print I cannot determine how the model is set up and give you a example what it can be done but maybe you can try doing it with the lookupvalue, since from the TiposProjecto to the department you only have one inactive relationship.
