How to create a DAX measure that extracts Information from the metadata of Tabular model in SSAS or Power BI.?


I have just started learning the SQL Server and Power BI. I'm working on a project and for that i need to create a Measure for the Power BI report that will dynamically extracts the information about all the tables (like Table Name, Last Updated, Dependencies, etc) used in the Tabular solution.

I couldn't find any satisfactory answer anywhere. Is there anyone here who could help?


Solution

  • If you are using an SSAS tabular data model or multi-dimensional cube, you can use DMVs to extract meta data to report on or analyze.

    This ARTICLE includes a great walk through and a power bi template you can use to report on metadata.

    Hope it helps!!
