Power BI
Connect every Power BI semantic model, report, and dashboard to the warehouse tables and source systems they depend on.
Semantic Layers & BIWhy Power BI matters
Power BI brings its own semantic model layer with DAX measures, calculated columns, and relationships defined inside the tool. Business users create reports, dataflows, and import-mode datasets that pull data into Power BI storage. This creates a sprawl of business logic, data copies, and dependencies invisible to the rest of the platform. When upstream data changes, the blast radius into Power BI is opaque.
Typedef connects Power BI semantic models, reports, and dashboards to their upstream sources and makes the DAX logic visible to the platform, so impact analysis and root cause tracing extend through the BI layer.
What Typedef unlocks
Impact analysis into the BI layer
Before changing an upstream table or model, see exactly which Power BI semantic models, reports, and dashboards are affected.
Dashboard-to-source tracing
Follow any Power BI metric back through DAX measures, the semantic model, the warehouse, and all the way to the source system.
Hidden logic visibility
Make DAX measures, calculated columns, and import-mode datasets inside Power BI visible for lineage, impact analysis, and metric resolution.
Report cleanup and migration
Consolidate redundant semantic models, retire unused reports, or migrate BI tools with full visibility into every upstream dependency and consumer.
Related integrations
Make calculated fields, LOD expressions, and data blending logic visible to the rest of the platform for impact analysis.
Surface the business logic hidden inside LookML so impact analysis doesn't stop at the BI layer.
