Role-Playing Dimensions and Direct Lake Semantic Models

Chris Webb finds a workaround to something that used to work:

Back in September 2024 I wrote a blog post on how to create multiple copies of the same dimension in a Direct Lake semantic model without creating copies of the underlying Delta table. Not long after that I started getting comments that people who tried following my instructions were getting errors, and while some bugs were fixed others remained. After asking around I have a workaround (thank you Kevin Moore) that will avoid all those errors, so while we’re waiting for the remaining fixes here are the details of the workaround.

I look at the set of steps needed to do this and say there has to be a better way.
