Document Power BI Models in SECONDS with TMDL + AI (PBIX file included!)

Video Description

If you’re a Power BI developer, documenting your semantic models is a MUST. Luckily, new tools like INFO.VIEW functions, TMDL (Tabular Model Definition Language) and generative AI can help dramatically streamline the process, and automate some of the most tedious steps – like writing descriptions for model elements like tables, columns and measures. With Power BI’s new TMDL view, you can: ✔️ Make bulk edits and updates to your model that would normally be extremely tedious through user interface tools ✔️ Share model components like M code or DAX calculation groups with other developers, or reuse them in multiple reports ✔️ Integrate external tools (like generative AI models) to unlock some crazy powerful capabilities In this video we’ll focus on using a combination of simple DAX, TMDL code and ChatGPT to auto-generate all of our measure descriptions – in less than 10 minutes! 📆 Coming Soon: January Jumpstart 2026! 📆 Join us January 5th - 16th to jumpstart the new year with LIVE instructor-led learning sessions and FREE course access to our top career & AI learning paths.
