# Power BI Modeling
> Tech Stack Target / Version: Power BI Desktop current release, Tabular Editor, DAX Studio, and Fabric semantic-model workflows.
Use this skill when the work is inside a Power BI semantic model rather than a generic SQL schema or spreadsheet.
- Leverage native parallel subagent dispatch and 200k+ context windows where available.
## Activation Conditions
Use symptom -> action triggers: when one matches, apply this skill and verify with the protocol below.
- Designing or cleaning up a star schema
- Creating or reviewing DAX measures
- Configuring relationships and cross-filter direction
- Implementing row-level security
- Auditing model health and performance
## Practical Workflow
1. Inspect the current model before changing anything.
2. Classify tables as dimension, fact, bridge, or helper tables.
3. Prefer explicit measures over implicit aggregation.
4. Keep relationships simple and single-direction unless the use case is proven.
5. Hide technical fields from report authors.
## MCP Reality
Power BI model tooling is host-specific. If your client exposes a Power BI modeling MCP server, inspect the available operations first and map them to the model areas you need: connections, tables, columns, measures, relationships, DAX queries, and security roles.
For Microsoft documentation, the Microsoft Learn MCP server is a good companion. Prefer:
- `microsoft_docs_search_by_product` with `power-bi`
- `microsoft_docs_fetch` for the final page
