Advocate VPower BI Project file (*.pbip) to Power BI File (*.pbix)
Advocate VHi nandic ,
I will like to clarify few things over here:
In my case I am starting with the Power BI project file and most of the details are abstracted (like the code part -> so the end-user is mainly interested in the final output so consider them they won't be having any technical knowledge just layman). So in this case the given approach won't be user friendly and to answer your next point this accelerator (the solution that I have built) it is build that it gives the report base for the user to work with so that later if they need to make any changes or modifications they can do on their own (but they won't be starting from scratch kind of 50%-60% is taken care of through the accelerator)
I want it to be more end-user friendly with minimal setup.
If you need more clarification do let me know.
Regards,
Sidhant.
Hi Sidhant ,
Thanks for the clarification and for sharing the additional context.
As highlighted earlier by nandic, the Git connected PBIP workflow is currently the only supported option that avoids PBIX generation, but it remains developer oriented and requires DevOps plus workspace permissions. Based on your setup where the PBIP is generated automatically and the end user only interacts with the front end, that model may not fit your scenario.
At present there is no supported service side conversion from PBIP to PBIX and PBIP cannot be published directly. Any automated flow that starts from PBIP still depends on Power BI Desktop for generating the PBIX, which is the limitation affecting your accelerator design.
There is an existing idea specifically requesting programmatic conversion between PBIP and PBIX that matches your requirement:
Programmatically conversion between PBIP and PBIX ... - Microsoft Fabric Community
You may want to upvote this so it gains more visibility and can be considered by the product team.
Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.
Thank you.

Hi Anonymous ,
Sorry for the late response as you mentioned there is no option as of now for the conversion process apart from the Git connected workflow which nandic had mentioned earlier. So I will be upvoting the idea that you mentioned, meanwhile I had read somewhere that some node package may help in this, I need to get the details (which my colleague had talked about, need to check)

Sidhant.Hi Sidhant ,
Thanks for the update, and appreciate you upvoting the idea. If you find the Node package your colleague mentioned, please share it here so others can review it as well, since there’s no documented library today that performs a full PBIP to PBIX conversion.
