userelationship question and dax patterns

[Anonymous]

Hi Community  - 

I am using the pattern below from the great SQLBI team.   However, I think their pattern assumes a date table with direct relationship to Order Date on the sales table.   I have a date table, but the primary relationship is to a different date (Due Date).     

I do have an indirect relationship established with the Order Date and I can't change my relationships so I need to invoke the USERELATIONSHIP function.   I've tried placing that function in several places, and nothing seems to work. 

Any guidance is appreciated.

Date New Customer =

CALCULATE(CALCULATE (                                       

    MIN (SalesOrdersALL[Order Date]),                                                            

    ALLEXCEPT (                

        SalesOrdersALL,                            

        SalesOrdersALL[CustNum],  

        Dim_Customers

    )))

Hi, @Anonymous ;

Try it.

Date New Customer =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( SalesOrdersALL[Order Date] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( SalesOrdersALL, SalesOrdersALL[CustNum] ),
        USERELATIONSHIP ( SalesOrdersALL[CustNum], Dim_Customers[CustNum] )
    )

Or 

Date New Customer =
CALCULATE (
    MIN ( SalesOrdersALL[Order Date] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( SalesOrdersALL ),
        SalesOrdersALL[CustNum] = MAX ( Dim_Customers[CustNum] )
    )
)
