Create Relationship by dragging is not working anymore

In the release Version: 2.43.4647.541 64-bit (February 2017), I am having issues in the Relationship view when dragging fields between tables to create a relationship.  I can do it fine through the ‘manage relationships’ interface but not by dragging the fields.

 

I get the error:

 

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

 

Thanks

Simon

    Same problem here. Also using Version: 2.43.4647.541 64-bit (February 2017). 

     

    Creating relationships in the "Manage Relationships" window works fine.

    I'm also having a similar issue.  Going to put in a Support Ticket as that's the only way I've seen anything get attention.

    I can repro the same issue as you. I’ve reported in internally to Power BI Team: CRI 31467006

    I’ll post here once I get any update about it.

     

    Best Regards,

    The fix is planned to be implemented in the Mar 2017 version of Power BI Desktop.

  • Don't trust Microsoft releases.

     

    Ensure you can rollback to earlier versions:

     

    Two step process.

    1. Using the Feb 2017 Power BI installer package file (.msi) file, I re-ran the file and chose the uninstall option.

    2. And then, I re-installed Power BI with the Jan 21, 2017 .msi file; version 2.42.4611.701 or 2.42.4611.901
