What should we check before changing a SQL table used by reports?

Check SQL modules that reference the table, views, stored procedures, functions, jobs, ADF datasets and pipelines, Power BI semantic models, reports, dashboards, refresh schedules, owners, usage, and rollback path. Then record which artifacts must be tested before the change ships.

How do SQL dependencies and Power BI lineage fit together?

SQL dependency metadata helps identify database objects and modules affected by a schema or procedure change. Power BI lineage and impact analysis help identify downstream semantic models, reports, dashboards, workspaces, contacts, and usage signals. The release gate needs both views.

Can reporting impact analysis be done without exposing private data?

Yes. The first pass can use metadata-only exports, object names, dependency edges, synthetic fixtures, redacted owner labels, and role-scoped screenshots or reports only after approval. Production rows, customer data, private metrics, and credentials should stay out of discovery.
