Hi Friends,

In SSAS Tabular Model, i have 2 objects. We need to setup a relationship between these objects 2 times based on the surrogate key in order to get the Date related fields from the Date Dimension Table.

  1. Account Fact Table
  2. Date Dimension Table

Relationships:
Datekey - StartDateKey
Datekey - EndDatekey

But I was getting below error while trying to create a 2nd relationship.

    Hi @Santosh Kumar ,

    Thanks for your posting.

    In SSAS tabular model, you can only have one physical relationship between two tables active at a time. It depends on how the end user wants to interact with the data but one option is to duplicate your master table. You could set one relationship to inactive. For more information, please refer to Requirements for relationships.
