Power BI users can now create and manage relationships between tables, visualize data relationships in a clear and intuitive manner, and quickly identify inconsistencies or errors in their data models thanks to the improved Properties Pane. Join us as we investigate the revolutionary new features of the updated Properties Pane and learn how they can revolutionize your data analysis and business intelligence efforts.
Traditional Way
Previously for updating any relationship between tables in Power BI you have to do following steps:
- Go to Data Modelling View in Power BI
- Select Manage Relationship, then a window will pop- up.
- Select the relationship you want to edit and then edit it as per the development need.
Let’s Explore the Update
Expand the properties pane in the modelling view and simply click on any relationship line to see all the relationship options. This new relationship editing experience sends fewer queries because there is no data preview and validation occurs only when changes are applied. Big data models, particularly those in DirectQuery storage mode, will benefit the most from this streamlined experience. If you need to edit a relationship, you can still do so from the properties pane or by double-clicking any line, just like before.
As you can see we get each and every options in this properties pane which includes tables, columns, Confirmation for making the relationship active or not and Cross filter direction options
Conclusion
Power BI’s new relationship editing properties pane significantly improves the user experience for working with data relationships. Power BI users can now save time and increase productivity by quickly viewing, managing, and editing relationships. The new pane also offers more flexibility and control, allowing users to tailor their relationship settings to their specific requirements.
Overall, the relationship editing properties pane in Power BI is a welcome addition for both data analysts and business users. This new feature simplifies the relationship management process, making it easier to work with data and generate compelling insights than ever before. Power BI maintains its position as one of the most powerful and user-friendly data visualization and analytics tools available today with this latest update.
