Dax scripting - output to flat file all table column unique data row counts

Wondering how one would go about creating a generic script to take the input name of a dataset.table and output to flat file all the unique data row counts for each column?  

The following is the dax pattern I want to replicate for each table.column.  The result of which would be nice to output to a flat file for analysis.

 

EVALUATE 
GROUPBY('Table',[column], "Count", COUNTX ( CURRENTGROUP (), 1 ))

 

Similar question asked recently and appreciate the advanced tab of dax studio.

Script to show row total counts of all tables of a dataset 

 

Posing these questions another way.  How do we do scripting in dax 'land' similar to how we do in sql 'land' :}

ie  sqlcmd, powershell, bash, etc

What you are describing is more suited for a Power Query implementation.  DAX doesn't have any function to manipulate column names, for example.

Multiple queries  This thread on github for dax studio looks promising for a future enhancement.
