Inactive relationships never activated

"Inactive relationships never activated" is one of the modeling checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. An inactive relationship exists but no measure activates it with USERELATIONSHIP. It is a medium-severity finding: the model still works, but results are wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Create the role-playing measures that use it (for example Sales by ship date) or remove the relationship.

What is detected

An inactive relationship exists but no measure activates it with USERELATIONSHIP. It is either dead weight or a role-playing date that users expect to work and does not.

Why it matters

Wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Fix in the next iteration.

How to fix it

Create the role-playing measures that use it (for example Sales by ship date) or remove the relationship.
