Difference between "normal" semantic model and default semantic model in a Lakehouse?
Hi Anonymous ,
thank you very much for your answer. While I totally agree (as stated before) that many-to-many relationship are not a good practice, I would like an official doc\link that states this difference on a default semantic model (and even for other differences). If you check here: Data modeling in the default Power BI semantic model - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn, the many-to-many relationship is stated, so this is a bit "confusing".
That's very important for evaluating the usage of the external tools for creating the model in the Lakehouse based on an existing model made with PBI Desktop. Maybe there other differences that we need to know, and it'd be very useful to have all of them traced in an official page.
Hi daniele_tiles ,

If you would like to suggest feature improvements, you may vote the idea and comment here to improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Hi Anonymous ,
It's not a feature that I'd like to improve, I'd like to have some consistency between what it's written in documentation and what are the "known limitations". Which is important for developing a plan to (or if to) migrate to Lakehouse...
Kind regards
