What does a .pbix file contain?
A .pbix file is a Power BI report file. xmetric opens supported report pages and visuals in its browser app; results can differ from Power BI Desktop.
Format source: Power BI .pbix format documentation. The source describes the format; xmetric-specific behavior is stated separately.
How does Power BI .pbix compare with CSV?
Choose a format for the information you need to retain. A flat table cannot preserve a report layout, spreadsheet formatting or every source type.
| Format | Structure | Type or compatibility consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Power BI .pbix | Power BI report and model | Report model, not a flat table |
| CSV | Delimited text rows | Inferred on import; no stored schema |
Sources: Power BI .pbix format documentation; CSV documentation.
What should I check before using my .pbix result?
Supported DAX, visuals and interactions can differ from Power BI. A missing external data source may require data supplied separately.
Compare column names, nulls and important values with your source before sharing a table or chart.
Can I open my .pbix file without uploading my data?
Yes. xmetric processes the selected local file in your browser. Opening the file does not upload it; saving a workbook online is a separate action.
What should I check after importing .pbix?
Check important visuals and calculations against Power BI Desktop; missing live data can prevent a result.
Can I open a .pbix file in a browser on a Mac?
Yes. xmetric opens supported Power BI .pbix reports in a Mac browser without a Windows virtual machine. Check key visuals and calculations against Power BI Desktop; this does not guarantee compatibility with every report.
