Portable Windows application · Free & open source
PBI Lineage Studio is a portable application that turns local PBIP and TMDL metadata into interactive dependency maps—so you can understand a model, assess a change, and trace impact from source to report page without installation or an XMLA connection.
Understand the whole model
Power BI models become harder to reason about as measures, relationships, partitions, and reports grow. PBI Lineage Studio brings those connections into one navigable view, making questions such as “What will break if I change this?” much easier to answer.
Follow data sources, schemas, source tables, partitions, model tables, and columns through the semantic model.
See which measures depend on other measures and columns without manually searching through DAX or TMDL files.
When a matching .Report project is available, connect measures to report pages, visual projections, filters, formatting dependencies, and explicit sorting.
Select any object to reveal its upstream inputs and downstream impact before you refactor, remove, or replace it.
Explore with context
Move between the application’s core tools to trace dependencies, understand relationships, and share the result.
Data Flow
Explore end-to-end lineage and filter the canvas by sources, tables, columns, measures, or report pages.
Data Model
Focus on tables and their relationships while keeping the surrounding model context close at hand.
Export
Turn the complete Data Flow canvas into a portable artifact for documentation, design discussions, and impact reviews.
