Celebrating 10 Years of Power BI with Native PBIP Automation in AnalyticsCreator

Written by Gustavo Leo | Jul 24, 2025 1:10:26 PM

Power BI celebrates its 10th anniversary with over 375,000 organizations relying on it globally. To mark this milestone, AnalyticsCreator now natively supports PBIP project generation, enabling modern, version-controlled, and DevOps-friendly Power BI development at scale.

Native PBIP Generation in AnalyticsCreator

AnalyticsCreator now supports the automated generation of Power BI Projects (PBIP), fully aligned with Microsoft’s Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL). This empowers organizations to create PBIP-formatted semantic models directly within AnalyticsCreator—ready for Git integration, CI/CD pipelines, and scalable Power BI delivery.

Why PBIP Matters

  • Text-based and editor-friendly: PBIP files are structured for readability and editable in tools like VS Code, supporting IntelliSense and schema validation.
  • Modular folder structure: Separate folders for semantic models and reports make it easy to reuse components and structure projects.
  • Git-native: PBIP is built for version control, allowing branching, merging, and collaboration through Git workflows.
  • CI/CD compatibility: PBIP unlocks automated testing and deployment through pipelines, ideal for Microsoft Fabric and enterprise environments.
  • Programmatic editing: Developers can automate updates via scripts or APIs, using TOM or other tools to scale changes across reports.

Built for Compatibility and Governance

PBIP and TMDL represent the future of governed Power BI development. AnalyticsCreator supports this future by enabling full automation of semantic models in PBIP format—compatible with enterprise DevOps standards.

Whether building data products, scaling Power BI, or embedding reports into release pipelines, PBIP support in AnalyticsCreator delivers control, clarity, and speed.
