Relationship model layout

Hello everyone

 

Whenever I build my relationship tables in Power BI desktop, I like to arrange it nicely with data and lookup tables arranged in a certain way. However lately, whenever I close and reopen the power BI desktop, all the tables in relationship view will run all over the places and become a mess  (the relationship links still remain fine though).

 

Is anyone having the same issue?

 

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

 

This is a known issue, and engineers are working on fixing this issue.
As workaround, you can start by using File->Open workaround will restore layouts unless you saved this PBIX with reset layot.

 

Hope it helps,

FYI who encounter similar issue as above. It turns out could be due to the October update release. The issue has been reported under issue section.

@Anonymous , You can create a new tab in model view and keep a small set of tables there.  that will hold the position.

 

The default set keep on changing with new changes

Hi @amitchandak 

 

I added another tab and put in some tables in the newly added tab. However, once i saved and reopen the file, all the tables in the newly added tab disappeared.

 

Is it something wrong with my Power BI desktop? Previously, all my tables will hold their position and will not run at all. I wonder if it has something to do with the recent October software updates..

 

Thanks for your help!
