Using two or more USERELATIONSHIPs

Hi experts,

 

I am trying to sum Quantity by GroupName in the following relationship scenario. Tables are related via the same name fields.

This is simplified part of a much more complicated relationship scheme in which I can not have active relationships between these three tables. However, I read that one can use nested USERELATIONSHIP instructions. How do I do that?

 

Thank you.

Hi @gvg

 

From the tables/relationships you've shown, you should just activate the two relationships simultaneously.

 

The measure should look something like:

 

=
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Sales[Quantity] ),
    USERELATIONSHIP ( Sales[Product], Subgroup[Product] ),
    USERELATIONSHIP ( Subgroup[SubgroupName], Group[SubgroupName] )
)

 

You can also use the CROSSFILTER function with the same effect:

 

 

=
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Sales[Quantity] ),
    CROSSFILTER ( Sales[Product], Subgroup[Product], OneWay ),
    CROSSFILTER ( Subgroup[SubgroupName], Group[SubgroupName], OneWay )
)

Thanks! It works. Except that Groups table name should be in quotes ('Groups') as it probably represents DAX keyword.
