Hi everyone,
I have an issue, importing a Tabular Model into Power BI Desktop. I have read about similar questions within this forum, however I think my question is slightly different:
I have made a Tabular Model, in which I inserted some tables with relevant data. Within the model, we created some relations between the different tables.
I want to import this Tabular Model into Power Bi, keeping the relations that we have created in the original model. However, when I import the Tabular Model, I lose the relations that I created, thus getting different results, in relation to the results that I obtain, when I extract the results directly from the Tabular Model (which is the option Live Connect)
I do need to use the Import option, since the reports that I deliver are published outside my organization, thus not being able to Live Connect with the Tabular Model.
My question is: " is there a possibility to import a Tabular Model in PowerBI, which contains the original relations created within it? If yes: what are the steps to take, to be able to succesfully import the Tabular Model as described above?
Thanks for your reply!
Kind regards,
Jurgen van Geest
Is there a reason you can't just recreate the relationships in the Power BI model?
Check for auto detect, else you have to do it manually. refer this

Hi there!
Auto detect doesn't work, since the relations that I established in the Tabular Model, dissapear when I imported the model in Power BI.
I could manually re-establish the relations in PowerBI. However, I would prefer not doing so, since there are various reasons to model the data as close to the source as possible.
