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 .odc keeps 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
    run PBIPortWrapper.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.
