pbix - manage relationships in model inactive

Hi All,

 

i have an issue: i have a  pbix which was transformed in a model data set and with other pbix linked on it (through Power Bi Data set); now when i go to Model to manage relationships i observed that is not editable, it is locked somehow

any idea how to make it editable? i changed the data and need to reconfigure la relationships

 

Thanks,

Cosmin

Hi @cosminc ,

 

I really can't reproduce your problem, I suggest you re-installed the february version :

Hi @cosminc ,

 

It works well on my machine .Would you please update the power bi desktop to the latest version and test if the issue is still existing?

 

As a workaround, would you please use the manage relationships to reconfigure la relationships:

Hi

 

i reinstalled Power bi Desktop yesterday

ias a disvantage is dificult to manage reletionships if you use that button; you don't see the overview and is posible to miss something, also if you use option detect automatically relationships it is a mess.

if yu have any idea, it would be helpful

i recreated a new pbix with same sources and again, same problem

 

Thanks,

Cosmin

Unless I am mistaken, once you connect Live to a Power BI Dataset, you cannot edit the model, you have to go back to the original dataset and edit it there.
