<v Instructor>In this sub lesson we're gonna explore</v> the structures within a pbix file and review the relationships between those structures. Okay. So all along we've been working with the SalesDataMart.pbix file. And that file's contained a number of structures. It contained Dataset, Report, Pages, and then visualizations on each one of those pages. And there was a relationship between all of these. Within the actual report itself, you had pages, and you could put zero or many visualizations on a particular page. And you could have anywhere between one and many pages in a report. And each one of those visuals could only pull data from the dataset that you have within the actual pbix file. So what we're gonna see next here is we're gonna take this pbix file in the next lesson and publish it into the Power BI service. And we're gonna see that the dataset and report are actually broken apart from the pbix file during the publish process. Okay. So that's it for this particular sub lesson right here. This was just a quick walkthrough of what the structures look like within a pbix file, how they relate together, so that when we get into the Power BI service, we have better context for how this was all built up.
