Introducing the NEW Tabular Editor CLI - with Peer Grønnerup

LIVESTREAM DATE/TIME 📅

May 29th 9:30 AM (Pacific Time)

DESCRIPTION 📄

Command line tools have a reputation problem. People hear "CLI" and either tune out or assume they need to be a DevOps engineer to get any value out of it. For most semantic model developers, that's been the story for years.

The new standalone Tabular Editor CLI changes that. You don't need to live in the terminal to automate validation, deployment, and testing across your tabular models. You just need a starting point.

In this livestream Peer will be walking through the new CLI from scratch: what it is, why it matters for Power BI and Fabric work, and how it fits into the rest of your workflow (AI agents included, if that's your flavor). We'll cover:

  • What the Tabular Editor CLI actually does

  • Local setup with zero prior CLI experience

  • Using AI agents to generate and run commands for you

  • Automating model validation, testing, and deployment

  • Wiring it into CI/CD without breaking everything No prior command line experience required.

If you've been CLI-curious but didn't know where to start, this one's for you.
