PowerBI Using USERELATIONSHIP to Activate Inactive Relationships

By default, Power BI will only use the data column relating to the active relationships when using columns from multiple tables in your visuals. In this video, Angelica will show you how to use the DAX function, USERELATIONSHIP to activate inactive relationships to make your data analysis more meaningful.

PowerBI Using USERELATIONSHIP to Activate Inactive Relationships is a feature that allows users to activate inactive relationships between tables in their data model. This can be used to simplify complex queries and create dynamic visuals. When activated, the inactive relationships will be visible in the relationships view and can be used to filter data and create visuals. Furthermore, the relationships can also be used to establish a link between tables, allowing users to join data from multiple tables in a single query. This feature can help users quickly build relationships and create more accurate reports.
