    Hi tvaishnav ,

    Actually, we also could create the data model in power bi desktop.

    When you load the data source in power bi desktop, Power BI Desktop makes creating those relationships easy, in most cases you won’t have to do anything, the Autodetect feature can do it for you. However, in some cases you might have to create relationships yourself, or you might need to make some changes to a relationship based on your requirement.

    Please refer  to this docuement about how to create and manage your relationship in power bi desktop.

    Best  Regards,

    Cherry
