Using Power Query SDK
Hi jaryszek,
It means that Power BI Desktop does not provide a built-in API to programmatically insert or modify Power Query (.m) code inside a ".pbix" file, but using Power BI Templates (.pbit) allows you to store queries separately from data, making it easier to manage and reuse them across reports.
To integrate .pq files into a development pipeline, you can:
* Merge .pq files into a single .m script and store it in version control (e.g., Git, Azure DevOps).
* Use a ".pbit" template containing predefined queries to create reports dynamically.
* Then use PowerShell or Power BI REST API to create ".pbux" reports dynamically from the
template.
* Once the ".pbix" file is created, you can publish it automatically using the Power BI REST API or
PowerShell.
If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,
Hammad.
