SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps diagnose Power BI and pbi-cli failures, performance issues, connection problems, and model health concerns by providing structured troubleshooting workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Environment Diagnostics: Verify pbi-cli installation, Python/.NET dependencies, connections, and Power BI Desktop integration issues.
  • Performance Troubleshooting: Trace DAX queries, clear caches, export diagnostic events, and investigate slow model behavior.
  • Model Auditing: Inspect semantic models, tables, relationships, security roles, and common Power BI schema or deployment errors.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to diagnose a pbi-cli connection failure or investigate a slow Power BI query.

FAQPage Schema
How do I troubleshoot Power BI connection failures and pbi-cli environment errors?

Troubleshoot Power BI connection failures by verifying pbi-cli installation, checking Python/.NET dependencies, and inspecting Power BI Desktop integration issues through structured diagnostic workflows.

How do I trace slow DAX queries and investigate Power BI model performance issues?

Trace slow DAX queries by profiling query execution, clearing caches, and exporting diagnostic events to investigate underlying Power BI model performance bottlenecks.

How do I audit Power BI semantic models to inspect tables, relationships, and security roles?

Audit Power BI semantic models by inspecting configured tables, validating relationship structures, reviewing security roles, and identifying common schema or deployment errors.

Does Power BI diagnostics require pbi-cli tooling to inspect connections and validate model health?

Yes, Power BI diagnostics requires pbi-cli tooling to inspect connections, execute diagnostic commands, trace queries, and validate overall semantic model health.

What is the best way to resolve Power BI deployment errors and model health concerns?

Resolve Power BI deployment errors and model health concerns by applying structured troubleshooting workflows that inspect semantic models, validate relationships, and trace query behavior.

Why is my Power BI query running slowly even after clearing the cache?

Slow Power BI query performance after clearing cache indicates underlying DAX query or semantic model issues requiring diagnostic event tracing and model auditing to isolate bottlenecks.
