Relationships Not Saving

Submitted by on ‎03-17-2025 08:33 AM

I have tried to create a new relationship between two tables but after I save the relationship when I go back into the manage relationships pane the relationship is not there. I am not sure why this is happening and what I can do to fix it. It allows me to save the relationships but it just disapears afterwards. 


Many others have confirmed they are having the same issue. Some seem to have it fixed and others including myself are still having this issue. It has been two weeks.

Hi  @powerbiuserasu ,

 

Please ensure that the combined length of the table names does not exceed 64 characters. If it does, try shortening the names and then recreate the relationship.
You may switch to the Model View in Power BI and verify that the relationships exist between the tables. If they are not visible, try the following steps:
1.Check Relationship Properties: Ensure that the relationships are active (solid line) and that the cardinality properties are correctly set. Verify that the correct columns are related and that the related column data types are the same or compatible.

2.Clear Cache: Clear the cache in Power BI to ensure that the system reflects the most recent changes. This can help if the issue is related to cached permissions or settings.
3.Update Power BI: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Power BI. Sometimes, bugs are fixed in newer releases, and updating the software can resolve the issue.
4.Recreate Relationships: If the relationships are still not visible, try deleting and recreating them. Make sure to save your changes and check if the relationships persist after saving.

 

Hope it helps!
