powerbi-report-conversion

powerbi-report-conversion is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from santoshkanthety/powerbi-agent. It costs 130 tokens per session (2,030 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool guide for converting and restructuring Power BI report files. It works with PBIR, a folder-based format; PBIP, a Power BI project; and PBIX, Power BI's packaged desktop file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert report formats, merge or split reports, create thick or thin projects, and reconnect a report to a different semantic model.
Why use it?
It makes reports easier to move between development, source control, deployment, sharing, and modular editing workflows.

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

powerbi-report-conversion 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 11d 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.

Report Format Conversion & Structural Operations with pbir.tools

pbir.tools enables bidirectional format conversion between Power BI formats, structural report transformations (merge, split), and semantic model rebinding — all essential for CI/CD pipelines, modular report development, and dataset migrations.

Format Overview

Format Description Best Used For
PBIR Folder-based report (text files) Version control, agent automation, diff-friendly
PBIP Power BI Project (folder + model) Full project with embedded semantic model
PBIX Binary desktop file Sharing, legacy publishing, final delivery

Rule of thumb: Work in PBIR for development, convert to PBIX or publish PBIP for deployment.

Format Conversion

# PBIX → PBIR (extract from binary — for source control)
pbir report convert revenue.pbix --to pbir --output reports/

# PBIR → PBIX (package for distribution)
pbir report convert reports/revenue.Report --to pbix --output dist/

# PBIP → PBIR (decompose project)
pbir report convert revenue.pbip --to pbir --output reports/

# PBIR → PBIP (compose project)
pbir report convert reports/revenue.Report --to pbip --output dist/

# PBIX → PBIP (convert legacy desktop file to project format)
pbir report convert legacy-report.pbix --to pbip --output projects/
# Always validate after conversion
pbir validate reports/revenue.Report --qa

Semantic Model Rebinding

Swap a report's connected semantic model while preserving all visual design, filters, bookmarks, and layout. Critical for promoting reports across environments (dev → staging → prod) or migrating to a new dataset.

# Rebind to a different semantic model in the same workspace
pbir report rebind reports/revenue.Report \
  --workspace "Production" \
  --dataset "Revenue Model Prod"

# Rebind to a semantic model in a different workspace
pbir report rebind reports/revenue.Report \
  --workspace-id "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  --dataset-id "yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy"

# Rebind using connection string (for XMLA endpoint)
pbir report rebind reports/revenue.Report \
  --connection "powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/Production" \
  --dataset "Revenue Model"

# Verify rebind result
pbir get reports/revenue.Report "datasetReference"
pbir validate reports/revenue.Report --qa  # ensure fields still resolve

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.
