Get COUNTROWS for all Tables

Hello everyone!

I have a PBI File where I am connected to 50 tables.

Now I would like to get the number of rows for all tables at once without creating a measure for each table.

Is this possible within PBI or by using DAX Studio or Tabular Editor?

@joshua1990 I'm not aware of a way to do that other than:

Measure =
  VAR __Table1 = COUNTROWS('Table1')
  VAR __Table2 = COUNTROWS('Table2')
  VAR __Table3 = COUNTROWS('Table3')
RETURN
  __Table1 + __Table2 + __Table3

Another possibility would be to use DMV's which are at the heart of the Vertipaq Analyzer might be a path to victory. [MS-SSAS]: DISCOVER_STORAGE_TABLES | Microsoft Docs
