Hi v-jiascu-msft,

 

Is there TFS integration support in Power BI Desktop?

 

If not, all we can do is to upload *.pbix to TFS manually. *.pbix is a zip file that contains report definitions and data, so they can be very big. There is no use in uploading data to the TFS for version control.

Hi SuraMan,

 

To be honest, I don't aware of any special Version control that integrates with Power BI directly. The TFS is a good idea. If you use the Power BI template file (pbit), it will be easy to go. Please refer to deep-dive-into-query-parameters-and-power-bi-templates/ and do-you-use-version-control-with-power-bi.
