Hey Power BI Community,
I have been wondering how my report readers can view the relationships of the tables I built in Power BI Desktop when they use Export Data -> "Analyze in Excel"? I understand that this downloads a file with an OLAP connection to the data model. The thing is I want my viewers to be able to understand the relationship between the various tables I published. When I go to PivotTable Analyze -> Calculations -> Relationships, "Relationships" is greyed and does not allow me to click on it. How do I view this relationship with an OLAP model connected to a Power BI Dataset?
Thanks,
Gui
Hi @Anonymous,
As the document said, this file existed the connection which protects and provides by power bi with live mode.
Analyze in Excel
I don't think you can simply break protect and keeping the live connection to do some further analysis with the underlying data model and relationships.
For instead, I think you can consider getting data from Azure blob storage that power bi service used to storage the datasets.

You can use tools like DAX Studio to run a query against the DMV. That will show you the relationship details.
I think it will be easier to just send a snapshot of the data model to your users (or include it as a page in your Power BI report)
