Steps

📌 Why this matters

Managing relationships in Power BI is essential for building accurate, cross-table data models that power reliable reports and dashboards. The Manage Relationships feature lets analysts define how tables join, edit cardinality and cross-filter direction, and remove stale connections — all without writing DAX or SQL. Properly configured relationships ensure that measures and visuals reflect correct aggregations across your entire dataset. This makes the feature a foundational skill for any Power BI user working with multi-table data sources.
