PBIP Metadata HACKED: Build a Power BI Governance Dashboard from Visuals & Fields

Ever wondered what’s really inside your Power BI reports?
In this video, I’ll show you how I extract visual-level metadata from .PBIP files using PowerShell — and how I use that to build a Data Governance dashboard in Power BI.

You’ll learn how to:

-Read visual.json and page.json files inside PBIP

-Extract visuals, fields, field types, axis roles, sort directions & filters

-Map visuals to pages using displayName

-Build a metadata inventory to govern your Power BI reports

This is for everyone who wants better documentation, auditing, and governance – directly from the report’s source code.

🧠 No external tools, just raw access to the PBIP structure and a smart PowerShell script.
