Hi all
Hope some one has a great simple way of comparing two different versions of datasets for differences between the new and old version.
Reason why is that i have a new version that keeps erroring whenever i refresh in the service, but does not fail to refresh in desktop, and i wish to compare what changes i've made since the last working version and the to find the change that broke the dataset/datamodel. Does that make sense? :-DI've tried to look in to PBI explorer but i encounter issues with the program, and i'm not quite familiar with tabular editor if that is used for such issues.
Hello,
I personnaly use Notepad++ with the Compare plugins. Be sure to do a proper extract of the data and to sort it the same way of both extracts.
Hope it helps
Igna
Thanks @Igna
Have you tried PowerBI Explorer?
I just found it, and as i understood it's a newly released tool, but i can't figure out how to use it or there might be something wrong with my install.
Your way of doing it is great with NotePad++, but i'd like to hear if there's any distinct tools for that that might be helpful finding parts of a dataset that has been added since last version.
