Dummy BI

The Power BI automation tool that lives on your machine.

Dummy BI Automate is for Power BI professionals who are tired of repetitive manual work. Stop rebuilding reports from scratch — switch datasources in minutes, not days.

Who is it for?

If you work with Power BI reports at scale — consulting, enterprise BI, or data platform teams — you know the pain. Documenting a report means manually tracing every measure, visual, and filter. Switching a datasource means editing DAX, TMDL, JSON visuals, bookmarks, and filters by hand.

Dummy BI Automate replaces that manual work with automated workflows. Load a PBIP project, pick your task, and get results in seconds.
