metadata / data dictionary

[Anonymous]

Hello there,

So my least preferred step in any sort of development - "documentation stage". I am documenting data items / relationships of my powerbi data model. I wonder if anyone has tips of how to export data columns into excel or anything similar?

How do you tackle this apart from manually writing this?

I seemed to remember in PowerPivot there is BISMTabular template that someone has developped. Apologies if I couldnt remember the source here.

Really appreciate your tips.... thanks guys.

Unfortunately there's no metadata dictionary for the dataset model in Power BI, though it really sounds a good idea. You can check this idea stronger metadata & lineage support and vote it up.
