    launch the following query in DAX studio after setting the  output to a static Excel file that will be saved wherever you want at the end of the query execution:
    SELECT DISTINCT([OBJECT_TYPE]), [OBJECT], [EXPRESSION]
    from
    $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_CALC_DEPENDENCY
    WHERE
    [OBJECT_TYPE]='CALC_COLUMN' OR [OBJECT_TYPE]='MEASURE' OR [OBJECT_TYPE]='CALC_TABLE'
    Once the query is launched, DAX studio allows you to export the result to an Excel file

     

    By the way you can also use Info DAX functions in Power BI Desktop as an alternative
