DAXQuest

Interactive DAX Simulation Platform

Launch DAXQuest Simulator

Learn Power BI and DAX by solving real engineering problems.

The flagship interactive learning engine built by pbiexpert. Run DAX against real star schemas, test filter context transitions in real time, and progress through 47 challenges across 6 modules.

Core Technical Capabilities:
01In-browser Monaco DAX Studio with autocomplete and syntax checking
02Deterministic DAX formatter indenting VAR/RETURN and nested clauses
03Visual simulation panel rendering KPI cards, slicers, and slice matrices
04Progressive hints, AST validation, and Power BI Fields pane tree
02 // BUILD·pbiexpert Developer Toolkit

BIKit

Developer Tooling for PBIP & TMDL

Read BIKit Case Study

Build, format, and version-control Power BI more effectively.

A suite of developer utilities designed for modern Power BI engineering workflows. Enables teams to transition from binary .pbix files to plain-text Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL) with Git version control.

Core Technical Capabilities:
01Automated TMDL linter checking measure syntax and naming conventions
02Git pre-commit hooks preventing un-formatted DAX or broken relationships
03Measure dependency graph visualizer for large enterprise semantic models
04CI/CD deployment helpers for Microsoft Fabric REST APIs
03 // ANALYZE·pbiexpert Diagnostic Tool

powerbi.dev

Semantic Model Static Analysis Engine

Read Diagnostic Case Study

Analyze Power BI semantic models and identify engineering debt.

An automated static diagnostics engine that profiles VertiPaq memory footprints, detects high-cardinality bottleneck columns, identifies bidirectional relationship cascades, and flags unoptimized measures.

Core Technical Capabilities:
01VertiPaq memory footprint decompilation and column ranking
02Single-click identification of unused system GUIDs and timestamp bloat
03Relationship topology auditing flagging ambiguous filter paths
04Microsoft Fabric Direct Lake readiness verification score

The pbiexpert Engineering Flywheel

We use our diagnostic tools (powerbi.dev) and developer utilities (BIKit) in our client Health Checks, while codifying our architectural findings into DAXQuest and Engineering Notes. This feedback loop ensures our practice remains grounded in production Power BI engineering.
