Does someone know if bi-directional cross-filtering will appear in Power Pivot?
Nice spot - thanks. I'd like to see where this lands - it's a pretty fundamental incompatibility. The portable nature of Power Pivot is what makes it particularly compelling.
Can't say i understand that issue with binary model. Done small exersize - created two identical simple models in pbix and Excel, the only difference pbix has bi-directional relationship and Excel one-to-many. Unzip both; extract DataModel from pbix; rename as item.data and replace one within the Excel. When open the updated Excel file (yes, there were some alerts) - and PowerPivot shows bi-directional within it's model. Slicer works from many-to-one.
Hi SergeiBaklan ,
I followed your instructions but in the moment in which I open the updated Excel file and try to open the excel data model, an alert appears:'Impossible for PowerPivot to upload the data model'. I read that could be incompatibility problems between versions of Excel/Power BI. Do you know a workaround to apply in order to achieve the result?
Many thanks in advance,
Nate.
Most probably data model is corrupted, if only your previous version was not 2010. Please check "PowerPivot is unable to load the data model" error - Microsoft Community if helps.
- Thanks for replying. I will try different versions of Excel then and see what happens 🙂
