v0.7.1
PBI Port Wrapper v0.7.1
A small follow-up to v0.7.0 that adds the deferred Excel hand-off and fixes the
window-title version.
Added
- Save .odc… (#86) — a served model can be handed to Excel as an Office Data
Connection file. From the tray, a model with a stable alias gets a Save .odc…
action; double-clicking the saved file opens an Excel PivotTable connected to
the model — no connection string ever typed or seen. Because the alias and port are
stable across Desktop restarts, a saved.odckeeps resolving. Copy connection
string stays for DAX Studio / Tabular Editor / advanced users.
Fixed
- Window title showed "v0.5" (#113) — the title was hardcoded and never bumped
across releases. It now derives from the assembly version, so it tracks the release
automatically.
Install
- Installer (recommended): download
PBIPortWrapper.msi, run it, and launch
from the Start Menu or the Power BI Desktop External Tools ribbon. - Portable ZIP: download and extract
PBIPortWrapper-v0.7.1-win-x64.zip, then
runPBIPortWrapper.exe.
The installer and executable are not code-signed; Windows SmartScreen / Defender
warns on first run (More info → Run anyway). Full details in
CHANGELOG.md.
