Implementing Analytics Solutions Using Microsoft Fabric — Question 11

You are creating a semantic model in Microsoft Power BI Desktop.
You plan to make bulk changes to the model by using the Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL) extension for Microsoft Visual Studio Code.
You need to save the semantic model to a file.
Which file format should you use?

Answer options

• A. PBIP
• B. PBIX
• C. PBIT
• D. PBIDS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, PBIP, which is specifically designed for storing semantic models created with TMDL. The other options, PBIX and PBIT, are used for different purposes, such as storing Power BI reports and templates, while PBIDS is for specifying data sources in Power BI, making them unsuitable for this context.
