Open Source Tools

Best for: Developers and data engineers who inherit a model and need to know where every column really comes from.

Trace Power BI columns back to their physical sources with exact / inferred / unknown confidence labels. Five lenses — overview, model, source map, measures, pages — plus auto-generated docs, HTML handoff files, and JSON/CSV exports for CI/CD and data catalogs.

Best for: Anyone tracing visuals → semantic model → source columns interactively in the browser.

Visualize PBIP data lineage in the browser. Trace visuals to source columns, explore DAX measure chains, and run impact analysis — client-side with D3.js graphs.

Best for: Teams handing off PBIP projects or auditing field parameters and calculation groups.

Auto-generate docs for PBIP projects. Traces visuals to semantic model definitions, surfacing hidden connections PBIR JSON misses — field parameters and calculation groups included.

Best for: Report builders managing isHiddenInViewMode across many visuals at once.

Bulk-toggle the isHiddenInViewMode property across all visuals in your PBIR report, review hidden elements, and keep layouts clean through code.

Best for: Developers planning refactors and running pre-deploy "what breaks?" checks.

Analyze change impact across your Power BI project. Trace dependencies between measures, columns, tables, and visuals — upstream and downstream — before you deploy.
