With Genie Code, you can now add a Tableau or Power BI file and have it build an AI/BI dashboard that replicates your existing visualizations - while connecting them to metric views that mirror the underlying business logic.
Import BI files using Genie Code - Azure Databricks | Microsoft Learn
Many organizations have years of BI logic embedded inside workbooks, reports, templates, and semantic layers. Rebuilding that logic manually in a new platform can be slow, error-prone, and difficult to govern.
This new workflow helps accelerate that migration path:
Upload a Tableau or Power BI file directly into Genie Code Supported formats include .twb, .twbx, .tds, .tdsx, and .pbit.
Use the /importBI command in Agent mode Genie Code imports the BI asset and generates an AI/BI dashboard.
Review the generated dashboard and metric views Measures and dimensions from the original file are transformed into metric views.
Promote metric views to Unity Catalog This makes them reusable across dashboards, Genie Spaces, and notebooks, while adding governance, lineage, access controls, and discoverability.
Currently, there is also a 100 MB limit for direct file uploads. For larger files, the recommended path is to store the file in a Unity Catalog volume and reference it directly, for example:
/importBI @/Volumes/my_catalog/my_schema/my_volume/sales_workbook.twb
