We're interested in learning more about how we can improve our modeling experience.

@emlisa , New users who do not have a background in data warehousing may struggle with creating a star schema, which is preferred by Power BI.

They may also find it difficult to understand how to join two columns.

Additionally, they may have difficulty understanding inactive relationships and the reasons behind them.

 

Inactive relationships can be valid, such as alternate joins,

or they can be inactive due to loops or multiple paths.

These loops and multiple paths can be created due to bi-directional relationships.
