no 'ok' button to accept a relationship

Hi all,

 

I am experiencing  a problem creating new relationships in Power BI desktop when using direct query to a sql server.

 

I am updating a dashboard I created a few months ago, and when trying to add new data sources and form simple relationships, there is no 'ok' button to accept a relationship of any kind (and yes, I have checked its not hidden on another screen!)

I have

  • tried restarting my laptop
  • confirmed am on the latest version:  2.130.930.0
  • confirmed no firewall issues
  • created a blank dashboard and attempted to recreate old relationships - still no ok button
  • created a blank dashboard and attempted to recreate new relationships - still no ok button
  • confirmed there are no nulls, blanks or duplicate values in the first data set.

I can see that someone posted a similar problem, but those troubleshooting steps did not solve my issue: Solved: Can't create a table relationships - Microsoft Fabric Community

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I have never had this issue before!

In case anyone else has this issue - it ended up being a UI bug which some very helpful microsoft reps helped me work through. The fix involved tabbing to where the 'ok' button should be and hitting enter.

Unfortunately, no. If it works on your file and works on mine, it means the issue is likely specific to your data.

Without access to your file, I'm afraid I cannot determine the exact cause.

At this point, it's probably best to open a support ticket with Microsoft.

Thanks so much for trying - I really appreciate the help. Unfortunately I can't send through patient data, but I will open a ticket. Have a great day 🙂
