7 Merged Ideas
Comments Microsoft, please!! Very hard to work with Power BI without GIT integration and CI/CD. The ability to do Pull Request reviews across multiple report developers is essential in this modern world of collaboration.
It would be great to have integration between PowerBI and Azure DevOps for version control. Maybe, Power queries, model and reports separately could be versioned.
Power Query should have ability to commit to a source control, ei Github or Visual Studio Online. It's very painful to keep a track of the queries and maintain them at the moment
It would be great to have version control over a dataflow, such as integration with Github. Sometimes a change can be made to the dataflow logic, which produces an error on refresh and the error detail is relatively poor to assist with identification of the issue. So being able to rollback would be good.
Also, this would allow multiple users to work on a dataflow and ensure the recording of any changes made or even fork if required.
Currently, there is not a way to backup a Power BI dashboard to source control. If the dashboard is corrupted or gets an incorrect change applied, there is not a way to roll back to a previous version.
Please provide an option to allow a copy of the dashboard to be downloaded or connect to a source control option (ie. GitHub, TFS, etc.)
Automatic versioning and the ability to create branches of queries to allow parallel development and better version history.
Provide the ability to have source control against PBIX development in order to manage releases etc
Could we add seamless import/export of the query/data model/measure definitions in text format for use with version control such as GIT?
Right now the queries are all defined as text, tables could be easily defined as field names, field type, and formula for added columns, and measures are just text. Relationships can be exported as a list. This should be 'simple'.
But we also need a seamless import -- import the queries, data model structure, measures from text.
The data wouldn't be part of this as it would be imported by running the queries.
Power BI Desktop or Service does not support BI Life Cycle Management. Therefore could Visual Studio Team Services be used for Dashboard, Report & Dataset version control.
