It may be a simple question but currently, I want to know whether or not it is possible to get the explicit formulas that are running in a power bi report, considering that it is published on the web and is visible to everyone who has the link available.
In advance thank you very much for your comments.
Best regards.

Hi @AlexHQ ,
If you only have the shared report link using publish to web feature, then you can't get DAX formulas of measures, calculated columns and calculated tables applied in the report. If you have the following features, then you can download the corresponding report by the Option "Download the .pbix file" under File menu and open it in Power BI Desktop to check the DAX formulas applied in the report.
1. Report creator
2. Someone else shared the report with you and gave you build permission
3. At least the workspace contributor and above permissions
Download the .pbix file
Grant build permission
Best Regards

@Syndicate_Admin , I doubt you can download a published to the web file.
Download option is usually there in the file or share menu.
