HOW TO EXTRACT METADATA FROM PBIX FILE
Since you didn't provide clearly your request, I am assuming that you are looking for a tool to extract the metadata contained in the PBIX file.
You can use the Power BI command-line interface (CLI) or another third-party tool.
Login to your PBI account using the pbilogin command.
Navigate to the PBI file in question and run the following command :
pbi get-metadata --file <PBIX filename> --output <output filename>
With Tabular Editor : after loading the model, right-click on the "Model" node in the tree view and select "Export" -> "Document as JSON" from the context menu.
With Power BI Helper : After loading your data go to the Model Info Tab and choose the metadata you want to extract (tables,measures, calculated columns..) > Export to CSV
Share feedback directly with Fabric product managers, participate in targeted research studies and influence the Fabric roadmap.
