How to switch the relationship a measure is using

[meddojeddo]

I am using Azure Analysis Services as the data source. Is there a way to switch which relationships a measure from the cube is using from the Power BI report side or is that sometihng that has to be done on the cube side? If it can be done, what would be the way to do it?

Hello @meddojeddo ,

In Azure analysis services you need to create inactive relationship which you need to activate for given measure and while creating a measure you can use Userelationship DAX function to switch inactive relationship to activate state.

@Shishir22 how do I activate and inactivate a relationship on a measure?

Hello @meddojeddo,

You can use userelationship dax function to activate inactive relationship for a measure.

Please let us know your requirement with sample data so that we can help you in writing measure.

@meddojeddo , if it is a live connection, not much you can do other than creating a measure. In measure, we use userelationship to switch relationships in a tabular model, not sure on the cube.

What exactly do you want to achieve.
