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.
