extract report definitions

Our PowerBI environment spans nearly a hundred reports and over a thousand data fields. Is there any utility or sample code that can export the object table/field information from .pbix files, so we can perform impact analysis? If so please send link or zip of the utility or sample code.

AFAIK, there's no such feature. You could check this idea Power BI Designer API and vote it up.
