What are Templates files
(PBIT)
In Power BI?
Power BI report templates are a type of file that is designed to be the
starting point for report creation
They are also known as .PBIT tiles due to their file extension
This guide shows you how to create, and use them
Why would you need to
Power BI report files, which contain the full data as an import can become very large
if the dataset is also large
One very easy solution to shrink the file is to save it as a template (PBIT)
Template files allow a Power BI file (PBIX) to be saved without the data, but retain all
of the meta data, query definitions, data models and the details for the visuals to be
presented when the data is refreshed
And it is really easy to do
Start with any PBIX file
Open any PBIX File
In this example our
PBIX file is not too
large it is 21MB
Save as a PBIT Template file
Click File, Save as
In the dialogue box, select the filepath
and name for your template
In Save as type, select the drop down
and select the *.pbit file type
Click save
Then optionally, give the template a
description and click ok
Open the PBIT file
We can see the new file type is much
smaller, just 61k in this example
Double click to open the file
As the file opens, it will refresh the data
automatically
This can be a great way to share dashboards among developers if
they contain millions of rows of data
The tiny PBIT files can easily be emailed, and if the recipient has
permission to refresh the source data they can see exactly what the
original PBIX file contained
