Claude Directly Edits My Power BI File — Creates DAX, Date Tables via MCP

Claude can now connect directly to Power BI through MCP and work with the actual semantic model — not just give you DAX formulas to copy and paste. In this video, I connect Claude with Power BI using the Power BI Modeling MCP Server and show how Claude can understand the model, create a Date table, generate DAX measures, review the semantic model, and help organize Power BI development work. We’ll cover: How Claude connects to Power BI using MCP How Claude understands tables, relationships and measures Creating a Date table directly inside Power BI Generating DAX measures with Claude Using AI to review and improve a Power BI semantic model Why you still need to validate AI-generated DAX Power BI + Claude MCP workflow How MCP changes the traditional copy-paste AI workflow The key difference is this: Old workflow: Power BI → copy code → AI → copy back → Power BI New workflow: Claude ↔ MCP ↔ Power BI Claude is no longer just explaining Power BI — it can actually work with the connected model. If you’re learning Power BI, DAX, data analytics, AI for data analysis, or Microsoft Fabric, subscribe for more practical Power BI + AI experiments.
