Automatically Establish the Relationship between Tables
Community SupportHi Manasa55,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Thankyou danextian, for his inputs on this thread.
After reviewing the details you provided, I have identified few workarounds that may help resolve the issue. Please follow these steps:
Creating relationships between tables using a Python script, while Power BI supports Python integration for data transformation within Power Query (via the "Run Python script" option), it does not allow defining data model relationships using Python. These relationships must be established manually in the model view or automatically during data load, depending on your settings. If you're looking to automate relationship creation, here are a few options.
Power BI Desktop: Automatic relationship detection relies on heuristics such as column names, data types, and sometimes data values, which may not always be reliable. You can manually create relationships in the Model view for more control.
Power BI XMLA Endpoint: For a Power BI dataset in a premium workspace, you could use Tabular Editor or scripting via XMLA/TOM (Tabular Object Model) to define relationships programmatically, though this requires tools like C# or PowerShell, not Python. In summary, Python scripting within Power BI is effective for data preparation, but not for data model editing, including relationship creation.
