Thanks alot for this very informative and helpfull video (and resources). I really like your hands on approach (also seen Power BI Update videos), which separates you from other similar channels on RUclips. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing and totally agree! Here’s a helpful article on branching strategies. tilburgsciencehub.com/topics/automation/version-control/advanced-git/git-branching-strategies/
This is a great instructional video for source control. I appreciate the information you shared as we're moving to Power BI and looking to add source control. I have a question that's not related to source control but instead about editing the .pbip in the Visual Code. Say I wanted to make edits in the Visual Studio Code IDE instead of Power BI, I assume the user can do that right and check in the changes all within the IDE? We're switching to Power BI from another vendor, and with our previous vendor, it's super simple to change the facts and measures and where clauses in the code. How can a user do that within Power BI? Thank you
Thank you for this compliment and I am happy to hear you love the video!! You are 100% correct! With the new pbip files, you can edit them directly in the IDE if desired (typically VS Code), then check in the changes. I’ve found that it’s still easier to create the code in PBI itself, but if you need to ‘copy’ code, the above method is perfect. Here’s a link to more information on the pbip files themselves if it helps, thank ms for your support!! learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/projects/projects-overview
Excellent question! The PBIP file concept is currently "new" and still evoling from MSFT. As part of that, there is limited functionality which is improving with every monthly update. Check out the end of the blog below, October PBI just released a new update which allows you to publish right to the service, this wasn't available before, hence the saving. Also, the saving concept ensures that VSCode has the most up-to-date code, which will then be sent to git connected workspace. hope this helps, please let me know if there is anything I can help with! powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-october-2024-feature-summary/
Is it possible to visualize the changes inside the dashboard? I made some changes to a file and my friend did other changes, now i need to merge, keeping both changes
Yes it is possible and thanks for reaching out. In order to merge changes, you’ll need to look into a tool like the ALM toolkit. Here’s some documentation around it. It will detect all changes and you can then choose which changes to merge. powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-tmdl-support-for-the-alm-toolkit/
Great question and thanks for asking! I think you need a premium license and there are a few options. Below provides a summary of the different license types. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/service-features-license-type

Thanks for sharing, that was a really good and detailed explanation.
Glad it was helpful and thank you for sharing!!!
Can you elaborate on why you had to save As the PBIP file again in order to upload it on Power BI service?

Is it available in Pro licence?

Management of concurrent changes on same project by different developers is still not possible or very hard though.
Appreciate you for sharing your thoughts!
