Over time, this often results in a large number of reports, semantic models, specialized analyses, and ad hoc solutions that have evolved over time.<\/p>\n<p>The big question is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>To what extent does our own reporting landscape actually focus on centralized, reusable semantic models?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cover in well-constructed environments <strong>1-2 Data Models<\/strong> whole <strong>80%<\/strong> from the reports.<\/p>\n<p>Is this the case for you, too? With this free Fabric notebook, you can see in just 5 minutes how your teams have been working in Power BI. It analyzes, within the permission context of the user running it, which Power BI reports access which semantic models.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a compact table containing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Semantic Model<\/li>\n<li>Number of Reports<\/li>\n<li>Cover<\/li>\n<li>Cumulative coverage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This makes it easy to see whether the BI architecture is based on reusable data models or whether many small, isolated solutions have accumulated over time.<\/p>\n<p>This notebook serves as a practical starting point for discussions about Power BI governance, data quality, and Microsoft Fabric.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data4success.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SemanticModelCoverage_data4success.zip\"> Download Fabric Notebook<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It does not contain any macros or executable files.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; border-radius: 8px;\">\n  <iframe\n    src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/g99EZsEPXKo\"\n    title=\"Semantic Model Concentration: Power BI Governance KPI\"\n    style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0;\"\n    allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\"\n    allowfullscreen><br \/>\n  <\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<strong>Warum ist das so wichtig?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because your entire company can be managed based on a semantic model.
