Contoso Dataset?

Hello,

 

Do you know where I can get a plain file (CSV  or excel) with Contoso data?. I'm trying to do some sample dashboard for the show as a portfolio.

The information available is in Power Pivot models or Databases formats.

 

Regards,

Thanks, @TomMartens and @v-sihou-msft.

I finally load the data set model into SQL database, it seems is not a simple model for CSV files. 

The biggest table is 12M rows.

 

Regards,

You can import the workbook or connect database in Power BI Desktop. Put the expected fields into a visual, then export it into CSV file. See: Export data from Power BI visualizations
