Hi @lakshmi11,

 

Did you mean "Select related table" as the picture showed? First select a table, then Power BI will select all the related tables according to the relationship when we click this button. (In the picture, I only selected "DimCustomer". And the data source is Sql Server, so there are relationships exist.)
