I am trying to get a list of datasources that a Powerbi file is using. I seen solutions online where I can use the ReportingService module to get a list but this only works when the PowerBI report is published online. Is there a solution that would work for a local file?
Here is the situation. A user gives me a Powerbi file. In order for me to get a list of datasources, I have to go in manually and to take a look at sources manually. Ideally, I would like to use Powershell to get this list.
Solved! Go to Solution.
All, in order to get datasources, you have to first publish the pbix and then query it to get the list.

Alrighty, I was able to use the MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Data and the command Get-PowerBIDatasource to get the list of datasources. However, it's not returning the connection string or name.

Hi, @ajokerst-dhl ;
As far as I know, Power BI local files need to view the data source in the Data Source setting.
Power Shell is for services and does not include local files;
So you still need to check it manually.
