Business Ops Has Moved to GitHub

September 2, 2026 By Mike Carlo

Business Ops Is Now on GitHub

Business Ops has moved from the PowerBI.tips Products area to its official GitHub home: github.com/MikeCarlo/BusinessOps.

Business Ops is a Power BI Desktop companion that helps you install, update, launch, and manage community-built Power BI external tools. It is designed to make useful tools such as DAX Studio, Tabular Editor, Bravo, and Report Analyzer easier to discover and maintain.

Why We Moved It

GitHub is a better home for an open-source utility. Moving Business Ops there improves distribution, gives users a direct place to find releases and report issues, and makes ongoing code management simpler for maintainers and contributors.

The repository is now the source of truth for the project, including its code, release history, installation guidance, and future updates.

Get Business Ops

Visit the official Business Ops repository to learn more, download the latest release, or contribute:

Existing links to the former Business Ops product pages now redirect here so Power BI users can find the project without landing on a missing page.

What Is Business Ops?

Business Ops is a single place to manage external tools for Power BI Desktop. External tools extend Power BI development with capabilities for DAX authoring, semantic-model editing, diagnostics, documentation, and report analysis. The GitHub repository includes current setup information and the project version history.

Kurt Buhler tells Tommy Puglia and Mike Carlo that a full Power BI report from an agent went from a bad idea to a half-hour build in the span of a week. The catch, in his telling, is the report format, the context you bring, and a requirements process that now has to scale past a single page.

Your Identity and Power BI – Ep.565

Tommy Puglia, Mike Carlo, and Kurt Buhler spend this episode on what is left of the Power BI identity once Microsoft Fabric and agents are part of the job. The skill that still decides the work is judgment: listening to the business, and staying critical of what an agent hands back.
