Send someone my Power bi data model but not the data
Hi ells69 -you can disabled data for each table in the Power Query Editor, right-click on the table name and uncheck Enable Load. This ensures that the data from this query is not loaded into the data model.Repeat this process for every table in your model.After disabling loading for all tables, click Close & Apply. This will apply the changes to your Power BI file and remove all data, but will retain the structure, relationships, and model design.
Save the PBIX file. At this point, the file will no longer contain data but will still have all the tables, relationships, and measures that are part of your semantic model.
You can double-check that no data exists by looking at the data view. It should be empty, but the structure will be intact.
You can now send this PBIX file via email or any other method. Since it contains no data, it should be safe to share outside your organization.
Hope the above information helps

Unchecked enable load.
Now when I look in the PBI I can see nothing in the report view,data view or model view. All of the dimensions and facts have just disappeared.If I open Tabular editor the same.
I just see the model in tabular editor and thats it
