Model relationship section is locked. Cannot drag to create relationships.

[Anonymous]

Hello.

As you can see in this picture, the model section where I create relationships between tables is locked. Strangely, this happened only with the data pulled from the web. If I link power bi to a file (excel or csv), everything is fine. In that case (getting data from the web), I can only use the relationship editor.

Moreover, if I make a new layout, the model section is not locked, but when I try to move around the tables the section will lock immediately.

I also re-installed the application and this problem is still there.

The version that I am using: 2.79.5768.1082 64-bit.

Later edit: If I connect Power BI to a SQL Server database, the model section is active, but if I try to create some relationships between tables it does not show me in the diagram the line that is connecting one field to another.

Good morning.

Here is the link to my pbix file:

The strange thing is that if I create a new layout everything is running smoothly util I move around the tables for which I wish to create a relationship.

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous, 

The same issue has been reported internally: CRI 183022636. 

This has been resolved in latest April branch (with a continuing but very limited repro) and even better in May (no existing repro). Please wait for Power BI desktop April version or May version.
