How to update a Desktop PBIX with ALM Toolkit

Does ALM Toolkit work with PBIX files?

 

I've created a very simple source file with one table and an empty target file, and I get an error message saying ALM Toolkit can't create tables in Power BI Desktop files

 

Perhaps it's that simple - but I thought that the integration of ALM Toolkit with Power BI Desktop was because it was made compatible with PBIX

 

Where have I gone wrong?

Hi @Anonymous ,

I have the same issue. I found a thread about this on github:
Unable to create table because target is power BI desktop or pbit which does not yet support modification of this type · Issue #89 · microsoft/Analysis-Services (github.com)

and at this moment I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to make it work or that I need to wait for the developers of ALM toolkit to make it possible

Thanks - you're right, it's there

 

ALM Toolkit doesn't work (e.g. merging differences) if you're on Power BI Pro, you need to have Premium

The target is a Power BI Desktop dataset with default data-source version of PowerBI_V1, which is not supported for comparison. Please Ensure you're using the latest version of Power BI desktop and if necessary enable the preview feature.
