v0.1.0 — first public release

First public release of PBIP Inspector 🎉

A single HTML file you drop a Power BI Project folder into. It parses everything right there in the browser and shows you what's inside — no upload, no backend, no install.

What you can do with it

• Overview — model size, table kinds, sources at a glance
• Sources — grouped by host (Snowflake, SQL Server, Dataverse, SharePoint, Excel, Web, inline…) with the M behind each
• Tables — master-detail browser, grouped by source, with columns, measures, hierarchies, partition M, extracted SQL, annotations
• Measures — searchable list of every DAX measure
• Relationships — force-directed graph; drag, zoom, hover-highlight
• Pages — every report page with its visuals; type a field or measure name to find every visual that uses it
• Unused — columns and measures with no references anywhere in the model, plus a "structural-only" toggle for items kept alive solely by relationships or sortBy
• Notes — a self-documenting reference tab that describes exactly what the parser handles

A few things it gets right that simpler tools miss

• Scalar M queries — a table whose M returns a single value (e.g. PrevQuarter = PrevRow{0}[periodname]) referenced elsewhere as each [Period] = PreviousQuarter is correctly recognized as used. No false unused flags on lookup-by-value tables.
• Comment + string awareness — table names sitting inside // comments or "string literals" don't false-trigger reference detection.
• All three DAX forms — single-line, triple-backtick fenced, and indented multi-line measures all parsed.
• Compressed inline data — Binary.Decompress(...) |> Json.Document(...) style is decoded and shown as a real table preview.
• Tables grouped by source in the sidebar — much easier to navigate than a flat alphabetical list when you have 50+ tables.

Try it

👉 sharathpyata.github.io/pbip-inspector — pick your PBIP folder and start clicking. Your files never leave your machine.

Not in this release (yet)

• The newer PBIR per-file report format (each visual in its own JSON) — only the legacy single report.json is parsed today
• The lite version (vanilla-SVG relationships graph, no D3 dependency) — still being brought to parity with the full version

Feedback

Hit a PBIP that broke the parser, or saw a field falsely flagged as unused? Open an issue with the snippet of M or TMDL that confused it — happy to fix.
