PBIR Report Work
Preferred tool workflow
pbir tree "Report.Report" -v
pbir backup "Report.Report" -m "Before edits"
pbir validate "Report.Report" --all
Use direct JSON editing only when the change is small and the structure is clear.
Design rules
- One page = one business question.
- KPI row at top, explanation in middle, detail at bottom.
- Prefer theme-level formatting over per-visual formatting.
- Use consistent colors with business meaning.
- Avoid too many slicers; use filter pane for secondary filters.
- Add text that explains the insight and recommended action.
PBIR safety
- JSON must be valid.
- Page/visual folder names should avoid spaces and punctuation.
- Folder name and JSON
name should match.
- Ask before deleting pages/visuals or bulk formatting.
- Validate after edits.
