Open the sample-data PBIP in Power BI Desktop

Checked against Microsoft Learn's Power BI Desktop projects documentation (as of Nov 2026).

  1. 1

    Unzip to a short path and open the .pbip

    Extract the zip to a short local folder such as C:\PBI (Windows limits project paths to 260 characters, and Desktop can't save a project straight to OneDrive or SharePoint), then double-click the .pbip file or use File → Open in Power BI Desktop. Microsoft still lists projects and TMDL as preview features (as of Nov 2026): if Desktop won't open the project, go to File → Options and settings → Options → Preview features, tick “Power BI Project (.pbip) save option” and “Store semantic model using TMDL format”, then restart Desktop.

  2. 2

    Select Refresh once

    The project ships without the local data cache (.pbi/cache.abf), so Desktop opens the full model definition without data. Select Home → Refresh: every table is built from values written into its Power Query step, so there is no data source to sign in to.

  3. 3

    Save as .pbix or connect your data

    Use File → Save as to keep a single .pbix file, or open Transform data and replace each table's Source step with your own query, keeping the column names so the measures and visuals keep working.

What’s inside the Hotel sample model

Rendered from the same definition the download writes as TMDL, so this list always matches the file.

Questions this dashboard answers

Each one is answered by a visual on the page, from the sample model's own tables and measures.

About this dashboard layout

Hotel revenue management runs on three linked numbers. Occupancy is rooms sold over rooms available, ADR is room revenue over rooms sold, and RevPAR (revenue per available room) is the product of the two, which is why it leads the page. The RevPAR combo shows this year's months as columns with the same month last year as a line.

Rooms available live in their own inventory table (rooms × days in the month), not on the segment rows, so occupancy and RevPAR stay right when you filter one hotel. Filtering a segment shows that segment's contribution to occupancy, which is what you want when asking how much of the house corporate fills.

The bottom row looks forward and at cost. Rooms on the books for the next eight weeks are plotted against the same point last year, the pace view revenue managers use to decide whether to open or close discounted rates. Net revenue by channel deducts each channel's commission, so online travel agents rank by what they actually leave in the hotel. The table compares the three hotels side by side.

The sample covers three fictional Portuguese hotels over two years with four market segments and four booking channels.

Custom visuals for this layout

Built-in Power BI visuals cover most slots above. These slots also suit a custom visual; each page covers the data shape, DAX and a prompt to generate it as a .pbiviz.

Already have a report?

Brand Makeover tries Hotel Revenue Management first on every page of your Power BI project (.pbip zip) where it fits: the page's visuals have to go into its 10 data slots without overlaps. Pages it can't seat get another catalog layout or a brand grid. Queries, filters and bookmarks are left as they are. Free, in your browser.

Opens with the Analyst / Dense preset, because the Executive preset doesn't use this layout (10 data slots; this preset uses templates with at most 7).

Swap a slot for a custom visual

Pick any slot and VizForge AI writes a custom visual (.pbiviz, with TypeScript source) sized to it, in this template's colours and shaped for the fields it is bound to.

Brief sent to the generator (you can edit it there)

A Power BI card visual titled "Occupancy". It sits in a 168×64 px slot on a designed report page. Match the report's brand: data colours #E3C46E, #F2EFE6, #B07D4A, #7F98B5, #5EA8A0, #C98C9A; background #151518; text #F2EFE6; font Segoe UI. Transparent visual background so the page design shows through; no visual border. In the sample model it is bound to [Occupancy %]; keep the same data roles so the fields drop straight in.

Use the background in an existing report

Prefer to keep your own report? Apply the design to it instead of opening the PBIP.

  1. 1

    Download the background

    Take the 1920×1080 PNG for a new page in a Fluent 2 report (the default size for new pages), or the 2× PNG (2560×1440) for sharp text on a 1280×720 Classic page. Power BI scales the image to the canvas.

  2. 2

    Set the canvas background

    Format page → Canvas background → Browse. Set Image fit to Fill and transparency to 0%.

  3. 3

    Import the theme

    Design ribbon → Import theme (in the Power BI service: View → Theme pane), then pick the downloaded JSON. Data colours and fonts now match the design. Older Desktop builds: View → Themes → Browse for themes.

  4. 4

    Place your visuals

    Size each visual to the positions above with background and border off, or open the PBIP project where they are already placed.

Questions about this template

Does the Hotel Revenue Management template come with sample data?

Yes. The “PBIP with sample data” download contains a semantic model with 8 tables and 11 DAX measures, and every visual on the page is already bound to it. The sample: Three fictional Portuguese hotels over 24 months (Nov 2024 to Oct 2026): room nights and room revenue by market segment, rooms available, room revenue by booking channel with its commission for the last 12 months, and rooms on the books for the next eight weeks against the same point last year. The data is written into each table's Power Query step, so there is no data source or sign-in.

Is it a .pbix file?

It is a Power BI project (PBIP): a folder of text files that Power BI Desktop opens like a .pbix. Open the .pbip file, select Refresh once to load the sample rows, then use File → Save as if you want a single .pbix.

What visuals are in the Hotel Revenue Management template?

The page has 12 visual areas: 2 slicers, 5 cards, 1 line & column chart, 1 donut chart, 1 column chart, 1 bar chart, 1 table. Their exact positions are listed on this page so you can match them in Power BI's Format → General → Properties panel, or skip that step by downloading the PBIP project.

Which theme does the Hotel Revenue Management template use?

It ships with the Obsidian Gold theme (dark tone). Download the theme JSON here, or open the template in the design studio and switch to any other theme or your own brand colours.

Is there a light version of the Hotel Revenue Management template?

Yes. Switch the preview to Light and every download (background, theme JSON and PBIP) comes in that version. The layout is identical; the page, card and text colours are re-solved for a light page, and the accent, status and data colours keep their hues but are adjusted until text meets WCAG AA (4.5:1) and chart colours reach 3:1 against the cards.

How do I use the background image in Power BI Desktop?

Select the page, open Format page → Canvas background, choose Browse and pick the PNG, then set Image fit to Fill and transparency to 0%. Give your visuals a transparent background and no border so the designed panels show through.

Can I open the PBIP project in Power BI Desktop?

Yes. PBIR is the default report format in Power BI Desktop since September 2026, and the download is a PBIP project: unzip it and open the .pbip file, select Refresh once and the sample data loads into visuals that are already bound (the empty PBIP leaves the containers unbound for your own data). Microsoft still lists projects and TMDL as preview features (as of Nov 2026), so if Desktop won't open it, enable them under File → Options and settings → Options → Preview features.
