Have you built or touched a Power BI dashboard? What was on it, how did it change, and how did a change get from your laptop to production?

Yes, I have built Power BI dashboards. I started with Power BI Desktop, connecting to data sources such as SQL Server, Azure Synapse, or CSV files. The dashboard included visuals like bar charts, slicers, and KPI cards, and I used DAX to create calculated columns and measures. Once the report was finalized, I published it to the Power BI Service. For version control, I kept the .pbix file in a Git repo and used the Power BI REST API to automate publishing. To move a change from my laptop to production, I would: 1) Commit the updated .pbix to the repo. 2) Trigger a CI pipeline that runs a Power BI Desktop build (using Power BI Desktop CLI) to validate the file. 3) Use the Power BI REST API to overwrite the existing dataset and report in the workspace. 4) Refresh the dataset via the API or scheduled refresh. This process ensures that the dashboard in production reflects the latest changes while maintaining auditability.
