Query to pbip

Query To Pbip

Orchestrate the conversion of a Databricks Genie Query into a complete Power BI Desktop Project (PBIP). This skill acts as a pipeline controller, invoking four sub-skills in sequence to translate query semantics into a TMDL model, select an appropriate visual type, generate the visual JSON, and scaffold the final PBIP package.

When to Use This Skill

• Converting a Genie SQL query or YAML metric view into a Power BI visual
• Generating a complete PBIP project from a natural language query result
• Producing a downloadable .pbip artifact from Genie output
• Automating the end-to-end pipeline from query to Power BI report

Pipeline Overview

The orchestration follows a strict four-stage pipeline. Each stage produces an artifact consumed by the next:

┌─────────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐     ┌───────────────────┐     ┌───────────────────┐

└─────────────────┘     └──────────────────┘     └───────────────────┘     └───────────────────┘

Input: A Genie Query — either as raw SQL, a YAML metric view snippet, or the full genie-metric-view.yaml file.

Output: A zipped PBIP directory ready to open in Power BI Desktop.

Stage 1: Semantic Mapper

Purpose: Translate the Genie SQL (YAML) into a Power BI TMDL semantic model.

Sub-skill: semantic-mapper

Convert the Databricks Genie YAML metric view (or a subset relevant to the query) into TMDL format, applying the same conversion patterns defined in the yaml-to-tmdl-converter skill.

Inputs

• Genie YAML metric view (full file or relevant subset)
• Query context: which measures and dimensions the query references
• SQL aliases from the query output that are not native semantic-model fields (derived fields)

Process

1. Parse the Genie Query — Identify the measures and dimensions referenced in the query.
2. Extract relevant YAML — From the full genie-metric-view.yaml, extract only the source, joins, dimensions, and measures that the query touches.
3. Build a Derived Field Registry — For any SELECT ... AS <alias> field not already in the model, capture alias name, SQL expression, source tables, inferred kind (dimension/measure), and target materialization (calculatedColumn/measure).
4. Convert to TMDL — Apply the YAML-to-TMDL conversion workflow:
   • Extract source table as the fact table
   • Convert joins to table definitions and relationships
   • Choose the correct role-playing date strategy: separate active date tables when multiple date roles must filter visuals simultaneously, otherwise inactive alternate relationships with USERELATIONSHIP
   • Convert SQL measures to DAX measures
   • Materialize derived aliases as calculated columns or measures before visual generation
   • Materialize data-anchored rolling-window helper measures when the request is for the latest N periods in the data
   • Convert format objects to TMDL format strings
   • Generate M-Code partitions for Databricks connectivity
   • Add lineage tags (GUIDs) to every object

Outputs

• model.tmdl — Model-level configuration
• database.tmdl — Database name and compatibility level
• relationships.tmdl — All table relationships
• tables/<TableName>.tmdl — One file per table (fact + dimensions)

Conversion Quick Reference

YAML Element	TMDL Output
source:	Fact table with partition
joins: with using:	Table + relationship (same key)
joins: with on:	Table + relationship (different keys)
measures: with SUM(col)	measure = SUM(table[col])
measures: with COUNT(DISTINCT col)	measure = DISTINCTCOUNT(table[col])
measures: with a / NULLIF(b, 0)	measure = DIVIDE(a, b)
format: { type: currency }	formatString: $#,0.00 + annotation
format: { type: percentage }	formatString: 0.0%
window: (rolling)	CALCULATE with DATESINPERIOD

For complete conversion patterns, refer to references/conversion-patterns.md.

Example

Input (YAML subset):

source: wl_internal.olist_ecommerce.fact_sales
joins:
  - name: dim_customer
    source: wl_internal.olist_ecommerce.dim_customer
    using:
      - customer_key
measures:
  - name: Total Revenue (GMV)
    expr: SUM(total_value)
    format:
      type: currency
      currency_code: USD

Output (fact_sales.tmdl excerpt):

table fact_sales
    lineageTag: <generated-guid>

    measure 'Total Revenue (GMV)' = SUM(fact_sales[total_value])
        formatString: $#,0.00
        lineageTag: <generated-guid>

    partition fact_sales = m
        mode: directQuery
        source =
                let
                    Source = DatabricksMultiCloud.Catalogs(...),
                    ...
                in
                    fact_sales_Table

Stage 2: Visual Selector

Purpose: Determine the best Power BI visual type based on the query's data profile.

Sub-skill: visual-selector

Analyze the measures and dimensions extracted in Stage 1 to recommend the most appropriate visual type.

Inputs

• List of measures from Stage 1 (names, data types, format types)
• List of dimensions from Stage 1 (names, data types, cardinality hints)
• Original query intent (e.g., "show revenue by state", "compare monthly trends")

Selection Rules

Apply the following decision tree to select the visual type:

START
  |
  +-- Single measure, no dimensions ------------------> cardVisual
  |
  +-- Single measure, 1 categorical dimension
  |   +-- Dimension is temporal (date/month/year) ----> lineChart
  |   +-- Dimension is nominal (state/category) ------> columnChart
  |
  +-- Single measure, 1 geographic dimension ----------> map
  |
  +-- Multiple measures, no dimensions ----------------> cardVisual (multi-card)
  |
  +-- Multiple measures, 1+ dimensions
  |   +-- Dimension is temporal -----------------------> lineChart
  |   +-- Comparison intent ---------------------------> clusteredBarChart
  |   +-- Default -------------------------------------> tableEx
  |
  +-- 1 measure, 2+ dimensions
  |   +-- Both categorical ----------------------------> matrix
  |   +-- One temporal, one categorical ---------------> lineChart (with series)
  |
  +-- Fallback ----------------------------------------> tableEx

Dimension Classification

Indicator	Classification	Examples
Column name contains date, month, year, quarter, time	Temporal	order_date, Month, Year
Column name contains state, city, country, region, zip	Geographic	customer_state, Region
Column references dim_date, dim_date_delivery, or another role-playing date table	Temporal	Any date-role column
All other columns	Nominal/Categorical	category_name, seller_id

Outputs

• Selected visualType string (e.g., cardVisual, clusteredColumnChart, lineChart, tableEx, pivotTable, slicer)
• Query bucket mapping (which fields go into which buckets like Category, Y, Values, Series)
• Recommended page layout position

Query Bucket Mapping by Visual Type

Visual Type	Buckets	What Goes Where
cardVisual	Data	Single measure
clusteredColumnChart	Category, Y, Series	Dimension -> Category, Measure -> Y, Derived categorical grouping -> Series
lineChart	Category, Y, Series	Time -> Category, Measure -> Y, Optional grouping -> Series
tableEx	Values	All dimensions and measures
pivotTable	Rows, Columns, Values	Dim1 -> Rows, Dim2 -> Columns, Measures -> Values
slicer	Values	Single dimension column
clusteredBarChart	Category, Y, Series	Dimension -> Category, Measures -> Y, Derived categorical grouping -> Series
filledMap	Category, Size	Geo dimension -> Category, Measure -> Size

If a derived categorical alias exists (for example Top Flag), default to placing it in Series for supported chart visuals so Power BI legend/color segmentation is preserved.

Stage 3: Visual Generator

Purpose: Build individual visual.json files in PBIR format, where each visual is a separate file in its own directory.

Sub-skill: visual-generator

Take the selected visual type and field mappings from Stage 2 and produce all report definition files in PBIR format.

Inputs

• visualType from Stage 2 (e.g., cardVisual, clusteredColumnChart, lineChart)
• Query bucket mapping from Stage 2
• Table and measure names from Stage 1
• Page layout preferences (defaults: 1280x720, FitToPage)

Process

1. Load the visual template — Select the appropriate template from assets/visual-templates/ based on the visual type.
2. Populate field references — Replace template placeholders with actual table names, column names, and measure names using the semantic query format. Include nativeQueryRef (column/measure name without table prefix).
3. Set positioning — Calculate the visual position within the page layout. For single visuals, center on the page. For dashboards with multiple visuals, apply the layout grid from references/layout-patterns.md.
4. Write each visual as a separate file — Each visual gets its own directory: definition/pages/<pageId>/visuals/<visualId>/visual.json
5. Assemble page.json — Page definition (no embedded visuals — visuals are separate files in PBIR format).
6. Generate report definition files — definition/report.json, definition/version.json, definition/pages/pages.json

Semantic Query Field Format

Column reference:

{
  "field": {
    "Column": {
      "Expression": { "SourceRef": { "Entity": "<TableName>" } },
      "Property": "<ColumnName>"
    }
  },
  "queryRef": "<TableName>.<ColumnName>",
  "nativeQueryRef": "<ColumnName>",
  "active": true
}

Measure reference:

{
  "field": {
    "Measure": {
      "Expression": { "SourceRef": { "Entity": "<FactTableName>" } },
      "Property": "<MeasureName>"
    }
  },
  "queryRef": "<FactTableName>.<MeasureName>",
  "nativeQueryRef": "<MeasureName>"
}

Outputs

File	Location	Schema Version
visual.json (per visual)	definition/pages/<pageId>/visuals/<visualId>/	visualContainer/2.5.0
page.json	definition/pages/<pageId>/	page/2.0.0
pages.json	definition/pages/	pagesMetadata/1.0.0
report.json	definition/	report/3.1.0
version.json	definition/	versionMetadata/1.0.0
definition.pbir	<ProjectName>.Report/	definitionProperties/2.0.0

Visual Template Usage

Templates are stored in assets/visual-templates/. Each template uses schema version 2.5.0 with {{placeholder}} markers:

Template	PBIR Visual Type	Placeholders
cardVisual.json	cardVisual	{{VisualName}}, {{MeasureTable}}, {{MeasureName}}
clusteredColumnChart.json	clusteredColumnChart	{{VisualName}}, {{CategoryTable}}, {{CategoryColumn}}, {{MeasureTable}}, {{MeasureName}}, {{SeriesTable}}, {{SeriesColumn}}
clusteredBarChart.json	clusteredBarChart	{{VisualName}}, {{CategoryTable}}, {{CategoryColumn}}, {{MeasureTable}}, {{MeasureName}}, {{SeriesTable}}, {{SeriesColumn}}
lineChart.json	lineChart	{{VisualName}}, {{CategoryTable}}, {{CategoryColumn}}, {{MeasureTable}}, {{MeasureName}}
tableEx.json	tableEx	{{VisualName}}, {{Columns}}
slicer.json	slicer	{{VisualName}}, {{SlicerTable}}, {{SlicerColumn}}

To use a template:

1. Read the template file from assets/visual-templates/
2. Replace all {{placeholder}} values with actual field names from Stage 1 and Stage 2
3. Generate a unique 20-char hex identifier for {{VisualName}} (e.g., uuid.uuid4().hex[:20])
4. Set the position coordinates based on the layout
5. Write each visual to its own directory: visuals/<visualId>/visual.json

Stage 4: Project Packager

Purpose: Scaffold the complete PBIP directory structure per the official Microsoft PBIP format and prepare it for use.

Sub-skill: project-packager

Assemble all artifacts from the previous stages into a valid PBIP directory structure with TMDL semantic model and PBIR report format.

Inputs

• TMDL files from Stage 1 (model, database, relationships, tables)
• Report files from Stage 3 (visual.json files, page.json, report.json, pages.json, version.json, definition.pbir)
• Project name (derived from the query or specified by the user)
• Repository root path (optional — used to discover existing .pbip projects)
• Explicit SemanticModel path (optional — used when multiple exist)

Process

0. Check for existing PBIP projects — Always search the repository for existing .pbip projects and *.SemanticModel folders before creating files from scratch. If an existing <Name>.SemanticModel folder is found, copy its entire contents (including TMDLScripts/, definition/, definition.pbism, diagramLayout.json, .platform, etc.) into the output. If multiple SemanticModel folders are found, prompt the user to confirm which one to use. You must always pass --repo-root when running scaffold_pbip.py so that existing SemanticModel content is discovered and copied. Use --semantic-model <path> when you need to target a specific folder.

   Critical: Do NOT remove any tables, models, relationships, or definition files from the copied SemanticModel — even if they are not directly referenced by the current visual or query. The complete SemanticModel must remain intact. Removing unused tables breaks ref table declarations in model.tmdl, removing relationships breaks foreign key integrity, and Power BI Desktop validates the entire model on load. Only add new report files — never delete or modify existing SemanticModel content.

1. Create directory structure — Scaffold the PBIP folder hierarchy:

   <ProjectName>/
   ├── <ProjectName>.pbip                              # Project entry point

                           └── visual.json
   

2. Generate pointer files with correct schemas:

   • <ProjectName>.pbip — Schema: pbipProperties/1.0.0, version 1.0
   • definition.pbism — Schema: semanticModel/definitionProperties/1.0.0, version 4.2 (TMDL)
   • definition.pbir — Schema: report/definitionProperties/2.0.0, version 4.0 (PBIR)

3. Generate .platform files — Fabric Git integration metadata for both SemanticModel and Report

4. Write TMDL files — Place all semantic model files from Stage 1

5. Write report files — Place all report files from Stage 3 (individual visual.json files in their directories)

6. Validate structure — Verify all required files exist and references are consistent

7. Package — Create a zip archive of the PBIP directory (excluding .pbi/localSettings.json and .pbi/cache.abf)

  }
}

Outputs

• Complete PBIP directory structure
• Zipped PBIP archive (.zip)

File Format Requirements

• All text files: UTF-8 without BOM
• JSON files: 2-space indentation
• TMDL files: Tab indentation
• Line endings: LF (Unix-style)

End-to-End Execution Workflow

To execute the full pipeline for a given Genie query:

Step 1: Receive and Parse the Query

Identify what the user is asking for. The input can be:

• A natural language question (e.g., "Show me revenue by state")
• A Genie SQL query
• A YAML metric view file or snippet

Extract the referenced measures and dimensions from the input.

Step 2: Run the Semantic Mapper (Stage 1)

1. Load the Genie YAML metric view (from databricks-genie-metric-view/genie-metric-view.yaml or a provided file)
2. Filter to only the measures, dimensions, and joins relevant to the query
3. Build a Derived Field Registry for SQL aliases not present in the model
4. Materialize derived aliases into TMDL as calculated columns or measures
5. Apply the YAML-to-TMDL conversion following the patterns in references/conversion-patterns.md
6. Generate all TMDL files (model, database, relationships, tables)

Step 3: Run the Visual Selector (Stage 2)

1. Analyze the measures and dimensions from Step 2
2. Classify each dimension (temporal, geographic, nominal)
3. Apply the visual selection decision tree
4. Produce the visual type and query bucket mapping

If a derived categorical alias is available from Stage 1, map it to Series for chart visuals by default to render legend-based color splits.

Step 4: Run the Visual Generator (Stage 3)

1. Load the appropriate visual template from assets/visual-templates/
2. Replace placeholders with actual table/column/measure names (include nativeQueryRef)
3. Populate date range filter placeholders — If the Genie query contains date-level filters:
   • For absolute date ranges (e.g., FROM '2017-01-01' TO '2017-12-31'): use the literal dates directly.
   • For current-date-relative ranges (e.g., "last 12 months", "past 6 months", "last 90 days"): emit a native PBIR RelativeDate filter using Now / DateAdd, following the same shape as the reference generated-reports/DeliveryDaysTrends/.../visual.json.
   • For data-anchored ranges (e.g., "latest 12 months in the data", or historical datasets where the latest row is older than today): do not use native RelativeDate; instead, bind a Stage 1 helper measure/flag and add a standard visual filter requiring that helper to evaluate to 1.
   • Set the date entity/property to the correct semantic timeline (dim_date.date for purchase/order trends, dim_date_delivery.date for delivery trends).
4. Write each visual as a separate visual.json file in definition/pages/<pageId>/visuals/<visualId>/
5. Generate page.json (page container without embedded visuals — PBIR format)
6. Generate pages.json, report.json, version.json, and definition.pbir

Step 5: Run the Project Packager (Stage 4)

1. Check for existing .pbip projects in the repository (search for *.SemanticModel folders)

2. Scaffold the PBIP directory — always pass the repo root:

   python scripts/scaffold_pbip.py <ProjectName> --repo-root <repo-root-path>
   

   • This automatically discovers and copies existing SemanticModel contents (including TMDLScripts/, definition/, diagramLayout.json, etc.) into the output
   • If multiple SemanticModel folders exist, use --semantic-model <path> to specify which one
   • Never omit --repo-root — without it, the existing SemanticModel will not be copied

3. Write all TMDL files from Step 2 into <ProjectName>.SemanticModel/definition/

   • Do NOT remove any existing tables, models, relationships, or definition files from the copied SemanticModel

4. Write all report files from Step 4 into <ProjectName>.Report/definition/

5. Generate pointer files (.pbip, .pbism v4.2, .pbir v4.0) and .platform files

6. Generate consolidated TMDLScripts — After all TMDL files are written to definition/, run:

   python scripts/generate_tmdl_scripts.py <ProjectName>/<ProjectName>.SemanticModel
   

   This reads the split files from definition/ (model.tmdl, tables/.tmdl, relationships.tmdl, cultures/.tmdl) and produces a single TMDLScripts/power-bi-semantic-model.tmdl in the createOrReplace format. The TMDLScripts/.pbi/tmdlScripts.json metadata file is created during scaffolding.

7. Validate the structure (using scripts/package_pbip.py --validate-only)

8. Zip the project directory (excluding .pbi/localSettings.json and .pbi/cache.abf)

Step 6: Deliver the Result

Provide the user with:

• The zipped PBIP file
• A summary of what was generated (tables, measures, visual type)
• Instructions to open in Power BI Desktop

Error Handling

Stage	Common Error	Resolution
Semantic Mapper	Unknown DAX conversion for SQL function	Fall back to inline SQL comment with TODO marker
Semantic Mapper	Missing join definition	Skip the dimension, warn the user
Visual Selector	Ambiguous query intent	Default to tableEx (table visual)
Visual Generator	Template placeholder not found	Use generic field reference
Project Packager	Invalid directory structure	Re-scaffold from template
Project Packager	Missing required files	Report which files are missing

Validation Checklist

Before delivering the final PBIP, verify:

1. Semantic Model Completeness — All referenced tables, columns, and measures exist in TMDL files 1b. Measure Syntax — Every measure uses inline expression syntax (measure 'Name' = <DAX>). Measures must NOT contain displayName, dataType, sourceColumn, or expression = as separate properties — these are either column-only or invalid TMDL keywords 1c. Calculated Column Syntax — Every derived calculated column uses inline DAX expression syntax (column 'Name' = <DAX expression>). Calculated columns must NOT contain sourceColumn: or sourceProviderType: — these are source column properties only and are invalid on calculated columns. The keyword calculatedColumn must never appear as a TMDL property name. DirectQuery restriction: calculated column DAX must NOT use iterator functions (RANKX, SUMX, AVERAGEX, COUNTX, MAXX, MINX, FILTER, ADDCOLUMNS, SELECTCOLUMNS). Reference pre-existing source columns instead (e.g., use table[volume_rank] not RANKX(...)). If no source column exists, convert to a measure. 1d. Column Properties — Every source column MUST include sourceProviderType and annotation SummarizationSetBy = Automatic. int64 columns must have formatString: 0. double columns must have annotation PBI_FormatHint = {"isGeneralNumber":true}. dateTime columns must have appropriate formatString (Long Date or General Date) 1e. Model Format — model.tmdl must include dataAccessOptions block (with legacyRedirects and returnErrorValuesAsNull) and annotation __PBI_TimeIntelligenceEnabled = 1. Must NOT include discourageImplicitMeasures 1f. Table Annotations — Every table must end with annotation PBI_ResultType = Table
2. Relationship Integrity— All joins from YAML are converted to relationships; relationships use the GUID as name (NOT as lineageTag); each has annotation PBI_IsFromSource = FS 2b. Role-Playing Date Strategy — Multiple simultaneously active date roles use separate role-playing date tables; inactive alternate relationships are used only when the alternate role is measure-only
3. Visual Binding — The visual's query references match actual table/measure names in the TMDL 3b. Timeline Alignment — Temporal visuals and date filters use the correct date role (dim_date, dim_date_delivery, etc.) for the requested trend
4. Pointer Consistency — .pbip -> .Report, .pbir -> .SemanticModel paths are correct
5. Schema Versions — .pbism version 4.2 (TMDL), .pbir version 4.0 (PBIR), visual schema 2.5.0
6. Platform Files — .platform exists in both SemanticModel and Report folders
7. Report Definition — definition/report.json, definition/version.json, definition/pages/pages.json all present
8. File Format — UTF-8 encoding, correct indentation (tabs for TMDL, 2-space for JSON)
9. GUID Uniqueness — All lineage tags are unique across the project
10. Relationship Format — Relationships do NOT contain lineageTag (causes UnknownKeyword error); the GUID is the relationship name
11. SemanticModel Copy — If an existing SemanticModel was found, verify TMDLScripts/ and other contents are present in the output 11b. TMDLScripts — TMDLScripts/power-bi-semantic-model.tmdl must exist and contain the consolidated createOrReplace TMDL combining all tables, relationships, and culture info. TMDLScripts/.pbi/tmdlScripts.json must exist with version, tabOrder, and defaultTab
12. SemanticModel Integrity — No tables, models, relationships, or definition files were removed from the copied SemanticModel

14. Last-N-Month Filter Mode — Current-date rolling windows use native PBIR RelativeDate; data-anchored rolling windows use helper measures/flags rather than Now
