Power BI Desktop's developer mode is designed cambodia telegram data to provide a simple co-development experience and source control. To achieve this, with these new Power BI features from February, you have the option to save your Power BI project files (PBIP) using the Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL) format. TMDL is a format designed to be easy to read and edit by humans, using any text editor.

This is a great step forward for source code control and collaborative development, especially when dealing with complex file differences. Saving as ISPS using TMDL is a preview feature. Before you try it out, you should enable it in Preview Features: go to File > Options & Settings > Options > Preview Features and select the “Store semantic model using TMDL format” option.

You can also convert existing PBIP files to TMDL by simply opening them and choosing “Update” when saving.
