Can't edit relationships and click on tables in the datamodel (with screenshots).

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

For some reason I can't edit the data models anymore in some PBI desktop files. I have searched on the internet but I couldn't find someone that posted a message with the same problem.

The whole data model is greyed out and I can't click on the tables. I can change relationships with the Manage Relationship button. But the relationships are not visible in the data model. When I open a new pop-up screen (like in the right screenshot) it looks very buggy. 

Has anyone had this problem before? I already tried to reïnstall PBI but that didn't fix the problem.

I have the same problem. I'm not using live connection mode.

I have re-installed the february version and in that version it works fine:

Hi,

Maybe you have used Live Connection mode to connect to the data source.

See this limitation:

One solution was to check connection type.  For one member it became live.
