Extract Data from Power BI(pbix) file using code

‎08-29-2018 04:08 AM

Is there a way to extract data rows from tables using the .pbix file?

On researching about the files that comprises the .pbix file, i found that the data is contained in a file named 'DataModel' which is a backup created using Xpress9 Compression. I could not find any documentation/implementation or any other way to decompress a Xpress9 compressed data. Could you please help me on that?

7-zip can do it from the command-line

 

add the directory where the 7z.exe lives to your PATH environment variable

change to the directory where you extracted the .pbix file

issue the command:

7z x DataMashup -o".\DataMashupDir\" -aoa
