Ensuring development consistency across Power BI models and reports is no small task. Following best practices and coding conventions often depends on each developer’s discipline and attention to detail, which often leads to inconsistencies over time. Fortunately, there is a more scalable and automated way to enforce standards.

In this session, I will demonstrate why and how to leverage Tabular Editor’s Best Practice Analyzer and PBI Inspector within an Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline to automate and scale best-practice compliance across your organization when developing tabular models and Power BI reports.

The session will consist of two parts:

The What and the Why: An overview of the tools, the CI/CD concept, and the benefits of integrating these practices into a Power BI/SSAS development workflow.

Demo: A hands-on demonstration showing a simple example of how to implement these tools within an Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline.

Required knowledge: Power BI development experience, some basic DevOps knowledge is nice to have
