Data model : display issue

Hi all,

 

I have a display issue in the "Model" part of Power BI Desktop. In fact, I'm not able to see the different relationships but when I go in the "Manage relationship" section there are presents and actives. This issue happens in one specific pbix file, in the other one there is not this issue.

@Anonymous - Hmm, never seen that. What happens if you zoom in?

@Greg_Deckler that's change nothing ....

@Anonymous - Really weird. What happens if you click on a column in a table and drag it to a column in another table? Does the relationship get created? Does it show up?

 

Sorry, I've never seen that behavior so trying to understand what is going on. I don't suppose you can share the PBIX?

Hi @Greg_Deckler ,

 

In fact I already try this and nothing happen on the display but if I go to the "Manage relationship" the relationship is well created... 

 

No unfortunately I can't share with you this pbix. For your information I asked to a collegue to try on his laptop and she had the same display issue...

@Anonymous - Well, only thing I can think of now are official channels. You could check the Issues forum here:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues

And if it is not there, then you could post it.

If you have Pro account you could try to open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".

Hi @Greg_Deckler,

 

In fact it seems that this is a known issue. See the following post : https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Model-relationship-is-greyed-out/idi-p/998157 

 

However, the issue should be fixed by the Power BI April/May version but I still have the same issue...
