Composite Model 2.0 - New Relationship icon/ type?
- 4 years ago
I wanted to follow up that I found an article by Paul Turley that confirmed this understanding. The symbols represent a limited or weak relationship.

onkelphill have you found an answer to this?
Ive been searching for what this means as well. I have noticed it has only appeared in my composite model when I related an imported table / calculated table to a direct query table. Is this what it represents?
no, i am still looking for an answer to my initial question.
thanks for asking!

I think this explanation sheds light on it, but doesnt fully explain its behavior.
I think now that the <> <> symbols indicate a cross source relationship between Import and Direct Query. The above article indicates that cross source relationships are always many:many; however you can physically change the relationship to be one:many. Does this <> symbol indicate that no mater what you choose, its a many:many relationship?- tctrout4 years ago
