This skill teaches AI agents to architect and deploy Power BI semantic models, reports, and Fabric workflows using industry-standard tools like TMDL, PBIR, Tabular Editor, and CLI utilities. Agents gain hands-on capability to validate project structures, author DAX measures, write Best Practice Analyzer rules, and automate end-to-end analytics pipelines.
Create vector graphics directly in Power BI reports by writing DAX measures that return SVG markup strings. The skill handles binding these measures to tables, matrices, cards, and slicers, with support for sparklines, progress bars, gauges, and custom chart types. Leverage existing UDF libraries like DaxLib.SVG and PowerofBI.IBCS before writing custom DAX.
Power Bi Build creates IPPF-branded Power BI projects by writing DAX measures into your semantic model, applying the IPPF Visual Identity 2025 theme, and generating page recipe templates for indicator dashboards, equity disaggregation, and methodology cards. It works with the pbi CLI to automate model operations while staging report pages for manual refinement in Power BI Desktop.
Pbip covers the developer-mode file format for Power BI, which decomposes binary `.pbix` files into human-readable text folders for source control and external editing. Learn project structure, thick vs thin report patterns, semantic model and report separation, and how to handle renames and validation across components.
This skill guides you through complete Power BI projects using the PBIP format—a git-friendly, text-based structure for version control. Work with TMDL semantic models, Power Query expressions, DAX measures, and star schema relationships, then publish to Power BI Service with scheduled refresh and gateway configuration.
Master the PBIR JSON schema and directory layout to work with Power BI Enhanced Reports programmatically. This skill covers the complete file structure, from semantic model connections through visual configurations and theme inheritance, plus the critical rules for safe report editing—always using the pbir CLI rather than hand-editing JSON.
