It would be really handy if there was a way to export the relationships between your database tables into a spreadsheet or table. for me i keep track of a lot of things in OneNote and entering all the tables and their relationships becomes more unmanagable once you have a lot of data. If a user could just export or even print a map of the relationships for easier reference.

Thanks

Why we still need to plead for such a basic functionality is beyond me. The team behind this software should attend to this suggestion because it is a very much needed feature

Agreed, it would be great to get some export options.A temporary process, a list of relationship can be pulled quite easily by:Connecting Tabular EditorExpand the 'Relationship' folder in the left-hand navigation paneSelect all the relationships and Ctrl+CPaste into Notepad and save as relationship.jsonOpen Excel > Data > Get Data > From File > JSON and navigate to your new relationship.jsonTIP: Do this for multiple version of a model to quickly identify difference/changes.

Customers have been pleading for this capability -- in this request as well as a dozen others -- for going on 6 years. Kindly ask that the developers of Power BI please listen and respond.

This feature could really be helpful in giving a PDF version of the model to my developers to help them better understand the relationships.

Please add the functionality ASAP.
Have the model in front of you when creating measurements etc. it is absolutely useful and necessary.
For the direct print option, very useful i.e. as a working copy, please also add the possibility to change the formatting, at least the background color (ultimately remove it).
