The new Tabular Editor CLI lets an AI agent operate your Power BI semantic model from the terminal, initialize a project, write C# scripts to add measures, run the Best Practice Analyzer to validate and auto-fix violations, deploy to the Service, and more, with every change landing as a reviewable git diff.
What you'll learn
Initialize a fresh TMDL model (or a full PBIP project) from nothing with a single te init command
Have an AI agent write and run a C# script to add a measure to an existing model
Run the Best Practice Analyzer headlessly, read the JSON findings, and auto-fix the fixable violations
Review every agent change as a line-level TMDL git diff before you keep it
Deploy the model to a Power BI workspace from the command line with te deploy and te refresh
