Is the Account and Contact table in a one-to-one relationship?

Hi experts,

 

Today I imported the Account and Contact tables in Power Bi and opened the Model view. And found a 1:1 relationship between Account (parentcontactid) and Contact (Contact).

 

I always believed that Account and Contact are in 1:N respectively. As Contact table as lookup of Account and Account has a subgrid of contacts. But it is also true that Account table also has a Lookup column "Primary Contact" which is a lookup of Contact table. In short Account table has subgrid of Contact as well as a lookup column on Contact.

When I check the relationship in dataverse it shows 1:N relationship but in Power Bi it shows 1:1 relationship. I have also added a screenshot from Power Bi

I'd really appreciate if anyone can explain the this to me.

    Hi , @ThePowerBro 

    I test it in my side , it is one-to-many relationship in my side and I'm not sure why it's recognized as one-to-one on your side.

     

    And you can update the relationship in your PowerBI:

    That's a clear 1:N relation. To every account there can be many contacts, but every contact is assigned to 1 account only (Dynamics Standard).
