Model View not showing relationships / limitations moving tables in model view (bug?)

[Anonymous]

Hello

All of the relationships between my tables on the model view have disappeared and are no longer visible when I navigate to the model view. Additionally, new tables are stuck and are overlapped in the top left corner of the view. 

Although the table relationships are not visible, the functionality still exists within the reports.

Is this a bug? I have cleared cache, updated PBI desktop, restarted.

Hello,

For whats its worth, i had the same issue, so  i opened up the "manage Relationships" Tab from the model view and removed the 'auto detect' relationships that Power Bi had generated when i created a new table in Power Query. My relationship visual lines returned.

I have the same problem, is there a work around? how long will it take to resolve?

Hi @Anonymous ，

It’s a known issue . The engineers are actively working on this issue and I will come back with an update if there is any progress.

For versions July 2023 and later, if relationship lines have disappeared:

1. Go to model view. 

2. In the All Tables layout, drag tables out of the upper top left-hand corner of the layout. As soon as you do, notice that each table, as it is moved out of the upper top left-hand corner, acquires a relationship line. When all tables have been moved away from the upper top left-hand corner of the layout, all relationship lines in the model will reappear.

3. For cases where the All Tables layout contains more than 50 tables, relationship lines that share the same space as tables not a part of the relationship will now "go behind" such tables (unlike in models of 50 or fewer tables where the relationship lines are drawn around non-related tables).

4. If you have more than 50 tables in your model, consider leaving the All Tables layout alone and creating additional layouts that use a subset of tables that still model the relationships, but where you can organize the tables so relationship lines run directly between their endpoints.

For me personally, when building data models with more than 50 tables (a common occurrence), I am going to take it as a hint that the All Tables layout is probably too congested (at least for others taking over the maintenance of the model) and that the data model can take advantage of the additional layouts feature when relationships need additional clarification.

Thank you. An annoying bug.
I had new tables populate into top left of the model view, moved them both out of the top left and all relationships then displayed.

Hi @Anonymous 

This is the second request on the same topic in the last few days.

If the permissions are correct and you upload a model file and do not connect to it as a data set and only contains a report, consider reporting it as an issue here :

a similar request from last few days is on a linked discussion:
