PBIX reports comparison
I'm trying to find the differences between 2 PBIX reports (measures, visuals, filters, etc.,). I have validated the models using ALM toolkit. Is there any simple option to compare 2 PBIX reports as I have many files to be compared? Any quick response would be of great help.
No need to convert anything. Open the pbix with your ZIP viewer of choice, or unpack it with Powershell.

You are already doing the comparison via ALM Toolkit. Is that not simple enough?
You can run custom TMSL code if you like Tabular Model Scripting Language (TMSL) Reference | Microsoft Docs
For visual level comparisons you can unpack the .PBIX files (they are ZIP archives) and compare the "Report" sections.
Especially the Layout file
Use a JSON parser for that.
Hi Ibendlin
Thanks for your quick response. I have converted my PBIX file to a Zip file. But when I double click, I'm not able to get into the below view.
Am I missing something here?
