Version Control in Power BI

Hi,

 

So i know for a fact that version control is still an idea at Power BI

I have been watching this video from Guy in a Cube that explains some possibilities but I can't use ALM toolkit in the org

 

My ask is simple and I want to know workarounds for this:

 

I have a complex report and 2 people need to work on it together.

I work on the UI part that will stay local for a week and the other person publishes the model and data changes everyday.

 

How can i sync our changes at a later point of time lets say 2 weeks after and have both changes retained (a functionality similar to git)? Can a .bim file exported from Tabular Editor help me sync?

Need Help

    Hi klehar 
    We don't have a proper solution for this but what you can do is:
    Option 1: Complete your build and copy paste the advanced editor queries (backend changes done by other user) in your report, then refresh and publish.  
    Option 2(Not recommended because you need to recreate your measures): Download the latest report build by your teammate which has backend changes and copy paste the new visuals that you build in his report. & then publish. 
    Just in case if you are doing formatting changes on front end and not creating measures, then you can go for option 2.

    If this helps, please mark it as a solution. Thanks.
