Hi,
I need to do some automation on the data mashup file and I was reading an article
https://radacad.com/exposing-m-code-and-query-metadata-of-power-bi-pbix-file
Here, it says that data mashup file is a zipped file and it has 3 files in it
But i'm not able to unzip this file. Any idea why?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Based on my test, we can use the 7-zip tool to extract the file rather than changing it as a zip file.

Hi
I am trying to do something similar but once I modify the section.m file and try to zip it back, I am unable to open the .Pbix file. It says the file has been corrup. Any idea how to fix this @Anonymous ?
Your modification may be causing a problem for Power BI(pbix) to read it.
I am just modify a simple query section.
Before :
section Section1;
shared Query1 = let
Source = Oracle.Database("ABC", [HierarchicalNavigation=true, Query="select Employee_id from employees"])
in
Source;
After:
section Section1;
shared Query1 = let
Source = Oracle.Database("ABC", [HierarchicalNavigation=true, Query="select Employee_id,Email from employees"])
in
Source;
Is it possible to un-zip update this section.m file inside the DataMashup and zip it back and use it in pbix file? Any other workaround?
Check how your editing the file. Check that the length change matches correctly with what you expected afterwared. I found that my editor (VS Code ) was adding a two Byte BOM on the front. I had to strip these to get modification to work.

Let me know if you work this out. I would also like to be able to do this.
Thanks
