impact of semantic model changes on reports

[powerbiexpert22]

is there a way to identify which reports would be impacted if i do changes in semantic model or which reports would be impacted by semantic model changes?

simialrly if i do changes in database columns then which semantic models would be impacted? i know there is a lineage feature available in power bi which can be used to identify reports which depend on semantic model, i just wanted to know if there is an alternate way to check this

Use the Power BI REST API. This endpoint gets all reports that depend on a dataset:

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{workspaceId}/datasets/{datasetId}/users

For database-to-semantic model impact, you'll need external documentation. Power BI lineage only shows semantic-model-to-report relationships, not database-to-semantic-model dependencies.

- To find which reports depend on a semantic model: Use Lineage View, Semantic Link (SemPy), or Power BI REST API.
-To find which semantic models depend on database columns: Use Tabular Editor’s dependency view, Semantic Link, or REST API.

You use tools like Collibra or Purview for enterprise level lineage tracking and leak prevention.
