Hi David, Thanks for sharing this video. I am working with one of my clients where I am migrating RDL files to Power BI Server. The client thinks that it will be lot helpful to convert an RDL file into a PBIX file instead of just publishing it in the Power BI Server. Do you think if it is very much possible to create/modify a PBIX file programmatically based on my requirements? Kindly acknowledge. Thanks in advance!
Great topic, can you advise if I can use this method to take an existing report and to extract out the formatting used so as to then create a json theme ? i.e.,, reverse engineer an existing report to then create a theme to re-use in new reports going forward ?
Hi David, Great topic! I was going step by step and got stuck at viewing in Visual Studio the History of "Customer Profitability Sample PBIX.pbix" and selecting each messages but Power BI didn't open! One thing I noticed was Bob's "Gone for Tacos" message wasn't. Actually at this point the only message showed were the ones from github. However, when right-click "File" and select "Open with", I noticed Power BI Desktop but still not sure how to add my pbi. Did I miss a step? Thanks!
Othello, thank you for the question! In the video presentation there is an example from Github. This example is different from the Github repository where the source code is available to you. The source code is available here (as you know) github.com/granite-cs/PowerBiVisibility. But this repo does not have any .pbix files in it. It only contains a little history about the source code itself. My assumption is that you will begin to use your own repository to store your file versions over time. If you use Github with Visual Studio, then it will look a lot like my own example in the video. But you might use another versioning software, you choose. It seems like it would help if I had a walk-though tutorial that you could truly follow along. But so far, I have not had time to create that. Does this help? -DavidB
@@shiftyourlife Hi David - this is really interesting. Let's imagine that I want to script two versions of a PBIX file, do some merging and write them back to a PBIX file. How hard would that be to do?
@@shiftyourlife Hey Quiet an interesting topic but I was lost , maybe I missed some steps trying it. Do you have any tutorial video that can guide me? Thanks in advance
