PowerBI.com should have some type of Source Code control integration for change control

RE: source control
adding my voice to the chorus. Really looking forward to this
RE: source control
Still waiting... a text friendly format is really needed. Not only for source control but for editing too; no one likes going through a cumbersome UI to make repetitive changes or setting up repetitive relations, filters, and settings changes for every control...
RE: source control
I need this too. I use BeyondCompare for diffs, so for me the solution is ideally just the ability to point PowerBI at a folder with the same folder structure as the zip file. You could then just version control the folder. That should be a small enhancement as it is just the ability to either OpenFile(filepath) or OpenFolder(folderpath)
RE: source control
I can't understand why this can not be done yet. In the end pbix file is a zipped version of folders, xml and text files. As a work around, we have been using beyond compare on unzipped pbix files to compare. But we can't do much more.
an in built compare mechanism with DevOps/Git and/or Visual Studio would be very much welcome.
RE: source control
Total showstopper. Even if MS has got the opinion, that Power BI is not a developer tool, source control is essential for continuous development. I understand that there is mainly a problem of the way pbix files are stored, as there is no xml structure so that diffs are not doable for now. But still: commenting the changes someone did is absolutely essential!
RE: source control
'+ 1 on the integration here with Git and Azure DevOps.
RE: source control
'+1 ... How can we deliver an enterprise PowerBI project without source control? I need to integrate all PowerBI Reports as part of Azure DevOps / Visual Studio project.
RE: source control
I'd like to see at least the DAX queries stored in a way that can be source controlled, perhaps an option to store them in separate files that can be loaded into the pbix file?
RE: source control
Dear Power BI team, this is badly needed
RE: source control
OMG Microsoft! This gotta be one of most commented Idea I've seen on your idea forums. And you don't even respond.
