Import data dictionary information into the Power BI properties?
When you click the left hand model icon, it displays a Properties panel
Here you can define the name, synonyms, description, display folder, etc for the tables, columns and dax measures.
The description name then pop-ups when you hover over the item in the Fields panel.
I have a existing datamodel with 100s of columns including
DimProducts
Product Name
Unit Price
I also have a data dictionary on SQl or EXCEL
Tablename.columnnam
Description
For example
DimProducts.Name = The product name (as it appears on the company website)
DimProducts.Unit Price = The price per item before qty and customer discounts
I don’t want to have to manually type all the data dictionary into the Power BI properties.
Is there a way I can import the data dictionary infomation into the Power BI properties?
Thank you.

You have to manually type all the data dictionary into the Power BI properties.
