PBIP is the file format used to save semantic models when using the Tabular Model Definition Language extension.

• A. PBIP
• B. PBIX
• C. PBIT
• D. PDIP

Answer: (A)

Semantic models are stored in a format that encodes only the model structure—tables, relationships, measures, and other metadata—so you can version and deploy the modeling layer separately from reports and data. When using the Tabular Model Definition Language extension, this model-focused artifact is saved as PBIP. That makes PBIP the appropriate format for capturing the semantic model itself, distinct from the broader Power BI Desktop file that includes data and visuals. PBIX is the full Power BI Desktop file containing data and visuals. PBIT is a template file for starting a Power BI project. PDIP isn’t a recognized standard format for semantic models.
