Power BI Cleaner - Manga Solutions Edition

[mike_honey]

I've launched a new open-source project, an extension of the Power BI Cleaner solution. Over the years since the original solution was launched, I've added a few components to my own edition, including a "Usage" page. This is very handy as a quick reference to the connections between Pages, Visuals, Tables, Fields and Measures in any Power BI report.

The solution itself is a Power BI report (PBIX file), so it can be published and shared. I often do this with my clients, for a "business analyst" audience. They can quickly browse the content and get an understanding of the connections, without needing to crack the target file open and muck around in Power BI Desktop.

There are several other tools around now to help with similar tasks, and some of them have more features. This article by SQLBI gives a handy summary and describes each one. But those tools are mostly specific apps that must be installed and/or licensed, and they usually require some preparation work using Power BI Desktop before any results can be reviewed. Most are quite technical in style, not aimed at a "business analyst" / non-technical audience. None can be extended, customised or shared as easily as a PBIX file. So I believe there is still a niche for this solution.

I've made this solution freely available in a GitHub project, so anyone can quickly get started to review their own Power BI reports. There are more notes there, including the "How-To" steps to connect to your PBIX file. Let me know if you get stuck on anything or raise an issue in GitHub.
