Powerbi Repointing

Repoint Power BI `.pbit` reports to Snowflake during conversion. Collects the `.pbit` folder path from the user and supplies the `--powerbi-repointing` flag for `scai code convert`. Load from `convert` or `code-conversion-only` only when the user confirms they have `.pbit` files.

File contents

Power BI Repointing

Load this skill from convert or code-conversion-only only when the user has answered yes to:

"Do you have Power BI reports (.pbit files) you'd like to repoint to Snowflake?"

Workflow

Do the following in order:

Say to the user (verbatim): "Repointing rewrites the connection in each .pbit to point at Snowflake and translates any embedded SQL queries to Snowflake syntax."
Ask the user (verbatim): "Please provide the folder path containing your Power BI .pbit files. Only .pbit (Power BI template) files are supported — .pbix is not. If you only have .pbix, see https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/SC.DDLExportScripts/tree/main/Power%20BI to export .pbit."
Store the user's answer internally as PBIT_PATH.
Return to the calling skill. When it runs scai code convert, append --powerbi-repointing <PBIT_PATH> to the command. Do not emit the literal <PBIT_PATH> token to the shell.

Convert Output for Power BI

When --powerbi-repointing is used, scai code convert writes:

Repointed .pbit files → artifacts/repointing_output/<timestamp>/<pbit_folder_name>/
Extracted embedded queries → source/power_bi_sql_queries/
Converted Snowflake SQL for those queries → snowflake/power_bi_sql_queries/
Per-query summary → reports/SnowConvert/ETLAndBiRepointing.*.csv

Option Reference

Option	Description
`-p, --powerbi-repointing <PATH>`	Path to folder of Power BI `.pbit` files to repoint to Snowflake (also rewrites embedded queries to Snowflake-compatible syntax). `.pbix` files are not supported.

CHECKPOINT Addendum

After the calling skill's conversion CHECKPOINT, also confirm:

Repointed .pbit files appear in artifacts/repointing_output/<timestamp>/<pbit_folder_name>/
Per-query summary appears in reports/SnowConvert/ETLAndBiRepointing.*.csv

Then return to the calling skill.

Post-Conversion Check: Unsupported Queries

After the conversion CHECKPOINT, scan the repointing report in the scai project:

grep -c "Unsupported" reports/SnowConvert/ETLAndBiRepointing*.csv

If any rows have Status=Unsupported, tell the user:

"SnowConvert successfully repointed your Power BI files, but some embedded queries could not be automatically converted. I can fix these using LLM-based translation. Would you like me to proceed?"

If the user confirms, load ./fixer/SKILL.md to complete the repointing process.

If no unsupported queries remain, the repointing is fully complete.
