If you’ve been weighing a move from Power BI, the migration just got a lot less painful.
The hard part of switching BI tools was never the new tool, it was rebuilding everything you already had. So we mapped every core Power BI concept to its Holistics equivalent, and built a skill that applies that mapping for you in a single command.
Here’s how the concepts line up:
- Semantic models → datasets, with table relationships carried over (including role-playing relationships)
- DAX measures → AQL metrics
- Reports → Canvas Dashboards, filters and visuals included
To run it, drop your .pbip export next to a Holistics project and kick off the migration skill. It writes the AML models and datasets, translates your DAX to AQL, rebuilds the dashboards, validates metric totals against your original Power BI values, and syncs everything to Cloud. What used to take weeks of manual rebuilding now takes hours.
