What it does
Impact IQ is a one-click governance and impact-analysis tool for Power BI and Microsoft Fabric. It automatically backs up reports, models, and dataflows and extracts their metadata, then builds complete lineage down to the visual level, so you can see exactly which visuals use which measures, columns, and tables, even when reports across multiple workspaces connect to a single model. It also tracks refreshes and outputs a Power BI governance dashboard, and ships in Local, Tenant Admin, and Service Principal editions.
Why use it
Use it to understand the blast radius of a change before you make it, to keep backups of your Power BI and Fabric content, and to get tenant-wide lineage and governance reporting without building the plumbing yourself.
Getting started
Download ImpactIQ.bat from the repository and run it (the one-click method), then authenticate to Power BI when prompted. See the repository for manual setup and the Tenant Admin and Service Principal variants.
