@SYM1986 - These are two different relationships-

1. The one with solid line is Active relationship and by default this only works in the model

2. The one with dotted line is Inacttive Relationship which can only be used by introducing a function call USERELATIONSHIP.

 

You can learn the difference betwen them here- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/relationships-active-inactive
