Relationships (From/To)

Hi Everyone, I just had a quick question and wanted another answer on the topic.

When creating a new relationship between 2 tables in a model is there a perference or does it matter which table is your "From" table and which table is your "To"? (Reference Image Below)

Hi @Euro0681 ,

 

According to my tests, when you create a relationship, the first selected table will be on the "From" side and the other table will be on the "To" side (but depending on the relationship, its display may change automatically).
In Power BI, "From" and "To" do not have a real impact on your relationship, but rather on the direction of the relationship.
