Power BI Partitions & Expressions

Power BI Partitions & Expressions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MinaSaad1/pbi-cli. It costs 98 tokens per session (968 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Tools for managing Power BI table partitions, Power Query formulas, shared data-source definitions, and calendar tables. Partitions divide a table's data into separately loaded sections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to list, create, refresh, or delete partitions; manage M expressions; configure connection settings; and set up calendar tables.
Why use it?
They help control how Power BI loads and refreshes data, especially when tables are large or need different data-loading rules.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Power BI Partitions & Expressions scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Power BI Partitions & Expressions Skill

Manage table partitions, named expressions (M queries), and calendar tables.

Prerequisites

pipx install pbi-cli-tool
pbi-cli skills install
pbi connect

Partitions

Partitions define how data is loaded into a table. Each table has at least one partition.

# List partitions in a table
pbi partition list --table Sales
pbi --json partition list --table Sales

# Create a partition with an M expression
pbi partition create "Sales_2024" --table Sales \
  --expression "let Source = Sql.Database(\"server\", \"db\"), Sales = Source{[Schema=\"dbo\",Item=\"Sales\"]}[Data], Filtered = Table.SelectRows(Sales, each [Year] = 2024) in Filtered" \
  --mode Import

# Create a partition with DirectQuery mode
pbi partition create "Sales_Live" --table Sales --mode DirectQuery

# Delete a partition
pbi partition delete "Sales_Old" --table Sales

# Refresh a specific partition
pbi partition refresh "Sales_2024" --table Sales

Named Expressions

Named expressions are shared M/Power Query definitions used as data sources or reusable query logic.

# List all named expressions
pbi expression list
pbi --json expression list

# Get a specific expression
pbi expression get "ServerURL"
pbi --json expression get "ServerURL"

# Create a named expression (M query)
pbi expression create "ServerURL" \
  --expression '"https://api.example.com/data"' \
  --description "API endpoint for data refresh"

# Create a parameterized data source
pbi expression create "DatabaseServer" \
  --expression '"sqlserver.company.com"' \
  --description "Production database server name"

# Delete a named expression
pbi expression delete "OldSource"

Calendar Tables

Calendar/date tables enable time intelligence in DAX. Mark a table as a date table to unlock functions like TOTALYTD, SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR, etc.

# List all calendar/date tables
pbi calendar list
pbi --json calendar list

# Mark a table as a calendar table
pbi calendar mark Calendar --date-column Date

# Alternative: use the table command
pbi table mark-date Calendar --date-column Date

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
