How to export the description info from the Model View in Power BI?

Hi Team,

 

In the Model View, there is a "Description" info show on the Properties section.  May I know how to export the "Description" info for all columns? or is there any effience way to show the rename column vs. origianl column? Thanks!

Good to know that, Thank you.
I can use INFO.COLUMNS to see [ExplicitName] and [SourceColumn]. The December version is powerful.

The new INFO functions released in the December update should let you do this - check out the example in DAX query view introduces new INFO DAX functions - I can't test right now, but the column example includes the Description column. Note you'll need the December release with the DAX query view preview feature turned on to use this.
