Getting Started with the TMDL View
Proposed session for SQLBits 2026TL; DR
This session will introduce TMDL View in Power BI Desktop, explaining how it enables semantic modelling through code instead of the traditional UI without eternal tools support.
Session Details
Power BI modelling has traditionally relied on graphical interfaces, but with the introduction of Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL), developers now have a powerful scripting alternative. This session will introduce TMDL View in Power BI Desktop, explaining how it enables semantic modelling through code instead of the traditional UI without eternal tools support.
We will cover:
- How to enable and use TMDL View in Power BI Desktop
- Scripting and modifying semantic model objects such as tables, measures, and relationships
- Enhancing efficiency with code-based modelling, bulk edits, and reusability
This session is perfect for those new to TMDL or looking for a streamlined way to manage Power BI models.
