FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a Power BI Desktop PBIX file to the PBIP developer format?▼

Converting a Power BI Desktop PBIX file to the PBIP developer format involves following specific instructions to transform the binary file into a text-based folder structure. This enables better version control and Git hygiene for your project.

What is the correct folder layout for a Power BI project in PBIP format?▼

The correct PBIP folder layout organizes your Power BI project text files into a specific hierarchical directory structure. This layout separates entry-point files like .pbip, .pbir, .pbism, and .platform files to ensure maintainability.

How do I fork an existing PBIP project with a new logicalId GUID?▼

Forking a PBIP project with a new logicalId GUID requires a step-by-step process to duplicate the Power BI project folder and generate new identifiers. This ensures the forked project does not conflict with the original.

What are the entry-point files needed to set up a new Power BI project?▼

The entry-point files needed to set up a new Power BI project include .pbip, .pbir, .pbism, and .platform files. These files define the project structure and act as the starting points for the PBIP developer format.

How do I handle rename cascades across different Power BI project file types?▼

Handling rename cascades across Power BI project file types requires applying renaming operations consistently throughout the PBIP folder structure. This ensures all references within the text-based files remain synchronized.

What are the best practices for Git hygiene when managing Power BI projects?▼

Git hygiene best practices for Power BI projects involve organizing the text-based PBIP folder structure to optimize version control. This ensures clean diffs, avoids binary conflicts, and streamlines developer collaboration.
