PBIR Tools v0.9.9

Important: This tool works best for targeted, iterative changes to existing reports -- formatting, property adjustments, field binding, theme changes, validation. It's not designed to replace your thinking or design, and it's also constrained by the brittle limitations of Power BI reports, themselves.

Install: uv tool install pbir-cli or pip install pbir-cli (recommended over native installers)

New

• Error bars -- pbir visuals error-bars add/list/remove for bullet chart patterns using upper/lower bound measures on chart series
• Reference lines -- pbir visuals reference-line add/list/remove for constant or measure-driven reference lines on chart axes
• CF dot-path syntax -- read and write conditional formatting via pbir get/set using .cf.gradient, .cf.rules, .cf.measure paths
• Model schema disk cache -- pbir set with field() selectors now caches model definitions to disk, cutting repeated calls from ~23s to ~0.4s
• pbir model --clear-cache -- invalidate cached model definitions after schema changes

Bug Fixes

• Field names with parentheses (e.g. OTD % (Lines)) now work correctly in field() selectors
• pbir pages rename --to now updates both folder name and displayName (previously only renamed the folder)
• .pbi runtime-state files no longer cause schema validation crashes

Deprecated

• pbir setup -- replaced by native plugin marketplaces; run pbir setup for instructions
• pbir visuals format-field -- use pbir set "Visual.component.field(Table.Field).property" instead
• pbir visuals format-state -- use pbir set "Visual.component.hover.property" instead
