Power BI: Inactive relationship interpretation
A shipping-date chart unexpectedly uses order dates. Inspect active relationships and the date path used by the measure.
Environment and inputs: Power BI semantic models and reports; measure behavior depends on relationships, storage mode and filter context.
Failure scenario
A shipping-date chart unexpectedly uses order dates. Confirm the cause before choosing a fix.
Evidence to collect
Inspect active relationships and the date path used by the measure. Record the time, affected scope and a healthy comparison interval.
Fix the confirmed cause
Use the intended relationship within the calculation and test a record whose order and shipping dates differ. Write the expected result first. Change one relevant setting at a time.
Check the result and hand over
Repeat the check for inactive relationship interpretation using the same scope and a representative interval. Check that the symptom is resolved, expected records are present and downstream results are correct. If coverage, correctness or latency worsens, restore the recorded configuration through the agreed rollback process.
Scope and precautions
Prefer read-only access and limit queries to the relevant period or dataset. This example has not been tested on your systems. Test changes in an approved environment. Keep credentials and sensitive data out of shared evidence.
