RE: source control
Probably duplicate to https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/9677517-source-control
RE: source control
Total showstopper. Even if MS has got the opinion, that Power BI is not a developer tool, source control is essential for continuous development. I understand that there is mainly a problem of the way pbix files are stored, as there is no xml structure so that diffs are not doable for now. But still: commenting the changes someone did is absolutely essential!
RE: source control
Couldn't agree more. This would be an invaluable tool, as I am currently on a team working on a data pipeline with Power BI reports. The way pbix's are stored prohibits us from utilizing source control to the extent we can with the vast majority of our other development tools.
RE: source control
'+ 1 on the integration here with Git and Azure DevOps.
RE: source control
'+1 ... How can we deliver an enterprise PowerBI project without source control? I need to integrate all PowerBI Reports as part of Azure DevOps / Visual Studio project.
RE: source control
I'd like to see at least the DAX queries stored in a way that can be source controlled, perhaps an option to store them in separate files that can be loaded into the pbix file?
RE: source control
Dear Power BI team, this is badly needed
RE: source control
OMG Microsoft! This gotta be one of most commented Idea I've seen on your idea forums. And you don't even respond.
RE: source control
This is seriously needed.
RE: source control
Integration with VSTS is definitely needed.
