Drillthrough with inactive date relationship

I am struggling with multiple dates in my fact table. Originally I had duplicated date tables for each date in the fact table so I had an active relationship for each date. However, I got stuck with certain formula calculations where I needed to put dates next to eachother, so i remodelled my data to  have one date table with multiple inactive relationships. 

An issue I have now is that I have a barchart with sales per month, and I want to be able to drillthrough into each month to see the deals where the sales date was that month. But because I do not have an active relationship between the date table (that i use for the axis in the barchart) and each deal, I will see all deals unrelated to their sales date in the drillthrough table.

How do I somehow make sure the drillthrough table ONLY shows the months that I drillhthrough in from the barchart?

 

The total sales number in the bar chart is calculated as follows. I added sample data in the bottom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Won MRR = 

CALCULATE( [Total Sales], 
FILTER('Deals','Deals'[Status]="Won"),
USERELATIONSHIP(Deals[Won Date],Dates[Date])
)

Hi @Laila92 ,

When you create this mesure and add it to the chart, you have actually created an implicit relationship between the tables.

 

How do I somehow make sure the drillthrough table ONLY shows the months that I drillhthrough in from the barchart?“

Maybe you can create a month column and add the column to  a slicer:

Hi @Laila92 ,

 

add the measure to the drillthrough table so PowerBI can determine the relationship.
