Hi @shyamji 

 

Composite models are not a preview anymore, you can use it out of the box.

Hi @shyamji 

 

As I mentioned, this is not a preview feature anymore, it's generally available, so you can use it without switching it on.

Hi @shyamji 

 

Have you got the latest version of PBI Desctop?

What model are you operating on, Direct Query, Live Connection or Import?

Hi - that's not because of the composite model, it's becasue of the data structure - creating a many to many there doesn't seem to make much sense?
