Can't create relationships in Fabric warehouse
Hi,
I've created a Warehouse in Fabric with tables and views, when I'm in model stage there are no relationships and as soon as I try to create a relationship it shows:
It doesn't matter which table I drag the relationships between, nothing works, anybody knows how?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi weetom.
Instead of working with the default semantic model, can you try to create a new semantic model on top of your warehousem from the Model tab in the Warehouse?
Hope it helps.

I would like to add for future users that develop semantic models in fabric that the worked the best for my situation is that you create your own semantic model in Fabric, open the power bi desktop and connect to the warehouse, choose the tables or views that you want in IMPORT mode and the upload the semantic model with measures and relationships.
It almost feels like you connect to a analtyics cube then, because conenct directly from Fabric Warehouse in a Power BI report with direct query is more laggy and the user experience isn't the best for instance the date hierachy isn't automatic in Direct Query, so big recomend is to create your own semantic model from a onelake/warehouse and then import on the tables you want.
