Very cool, I would have like to see more information on the GitHub workflow in PBI services within a workspace

[billionairemindset]

Thank you Fernan
This is super useful tutorial

[drsalt]

great video with relevant examples! good to know that git could work with PowerBI. we've been using it for versioning but I've always wondered, but couldn't see the diff/changes across commits since it's a visual file. might be worth showing the diff view next time, thanks for the video!

[naama]

Thanks for this video. It would be awesome to understand from you how to automate the commit and push actions.

Thanks for another very informative video. I have learned a lot from your videos. I wonder whether you can develop a tutorial for creating a line or column chart showing the number of active employees / open cases (as well as other outcome measures like average wages, sales etc based on individual employee hire / terminate dates records data and their wages data across time) across year/month as well as break down the numbers by age group or tenure group (using age/tenure group as a legend). As age or tenure is dynamic and changes with the year/month, I cannot figure out how the age/tenure groups can be used as a legend. It seems the age/tenure group measures created cannot be used as legend to break down the values in the chart. I have not found a solution on this yet.

Hi, I would like to use pibp files in devops and deploy them. I want to use yaml and the XMLA-endpoint, not the power bi pipelines. Do you have any tips?

[jatinhingorani]

Thank you for the video. I have a slightly off-topic question: it appears that your hairline has receded, and you've undergone treatment with positive results. Could you please share your experience and the treatment process you went through?

[sameerulhaq]

can I save version control to oracle erp from powerbi?

[keshavgoyal]

Does it work when we add new visuals in our report .Can anyone explain please .

[danielessiet]

Please which practice exams would you recommend for PL300 aspirants?

[amakajosephat]

How do you get past expression error when importing a transformed data into powerbi?

[deepaks]

How does this help to work with multiple developers on same reports ?

[mainuser]

After commiting the changes to github remote, how do u commit those changes to the powerbi service?

[NancyMancarious]

I wonder why anyone would decide to have version control with PBI. Any edge/use cases that anybody can think of? I get it for code development, but not for PBI.

[Charisse-te]

Well as of today you can publish the pbip files

[sonjoysengupto]

Fernan, using this method can multiple developers develop on a single PBIP file? Can you also show us how to do CI/CD using this approach with Azure DevOps? Thanks a lot🙏

[xConundrumx]

Well since .pibx files are nothing more than zip files with a different extension this was not that big of a change.
