Automate Power BI with C# Scripts: Master Tabular Editor

Automate Power BI with C# Scripts: Master Tabular Editor

This AI agent skill facilitates the automation of Power BI semantic model modifications using C# scripting within the Tabular Editor 2/3 environment. The skill operates seamlessly with the AI coding agents Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to enhance developers' efficiency when managing Power BI models.

What this skill does

• Enables writing and executing C# scripts or macros specifically for Power BI semantic model manipulation.
• Facilitates batch operations on model components such as measures, columns, and tables.
• Supports the creation and adjustment of calculation groups.
• Assists with the management of model security, including roles and row-level security (RLS).
• Provides tools for formatting DAX expressions and automating repeated model changes.
• Allows querying of model metadata via the TOM API and building interactive scripts with user input dialogs.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and teams using AI coding agents who work extensively with Power BI and require efficient methods to manage and automate tasks within Power BI models.

Use cases

• Automating bulk updates to Power BI measures and columns to ensure consistency across large datasets.
• Creating calculation groups to streamline model complexity and improve efficiency.
• Managing security roles and implementing row-level security to maintain data integrity and access control.
• Formatting DAX expressions programmatically to adhere to coding standards.
• Running scripts to automate repetitive model changes to reduce manual intervention.

Technical details

• Utilizes Tabular Editor 2/3, supporting both CLI and IDE environments for scripting tasks.
• Integrates with C# for script execution, requiring familiarity with syntax and debugging practices in C#.
• Incorporates XMLA and TOM scripting capabilities to access and modify model metadata.
• Ensures script error handling with `Info()` statements and provision for testing within non-production environments.
