Question
You are creating a semantic model in Microsoft Power BI Desktop.
You plan to make bulk changes to the model by using the Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL) extension for Microsoft Visual Studio Code.
You need to save the semantic model to a file.
Which file format should you use?
- A. PBIP Correct
- B. PBIX
- C. PBIT
- D. PBIDS
Explanation
Saving as a Power BI Project (PBIP) writes the semantic model definition as text files in a folder, and with the TMDL format the model is stored as .tmdl files that the TMDL extension for Visual Studio Code can open and edit in bulk. PBIX and PBIT are single binary packages that cannot be edited as TMDL text. PBIDS is only a data source connection file and contains no model.
