Semantic Model relationship issue

Byzza — Tue, 27 May 2025 06:03:37 GMT

Hi All,

I'm currently having issues creating a relationship between 2 Fact tables in a Fabric Semantic Model.

So the steps I've taken

On my Warehouse --> Reporting --> "New semantic Model"
Add my 2 tables. A header table and Line Item table.
create a join per the screenshot below.

open the semantic model in excel to test.
Drag the Primary Key from Header to pivot table and filter to single record
Drag the Lines Number to pivot table
- all lines in the line table are returned instead of just those linked to single record.

If I create a new Power BI Report and link to these same 2 tables in Direct Query Mode and create the join in Power BI it works fine.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Byzza,

Thank you for reaching out in Microsoft Community Forum.

Please follow below steps to resolve Semantic Model relationship issue;

1.Make sure the relationship is set to Many-to-one, active, and with Single cross-filter direction — as shown in your screenshot.

2.The DocEntry values in Production Order Line do not match those in Production Order. This mismatch is why filtering doesn't work in Excel.

3.Excel pivot tables don't fully honor model relationships unless fields are from dimension tables or measures are used.

4.Since the relationship works in Power BI (DirectQuery), use Power BI reports for this scenario to get accurate filter behavior.

No haven't been able to resolve the issue. I still haven't only been able to get it working in Power BI and not a MS Fabric Semantic model. But for now that is ok, and I'm working with this.

Due to limitations on my fabric capacity I was probably going to move this to a Power BI SM in a different Capactiy anyway.
