Data Lineage/Documentation for Power BI Report Server Dashboard

[AvinashPentyala]

Dear All,

How can I generate data lineage or documentation for a Power BI Report Server dashboard? If there are no built-in options available, could you please let me know of any external tools that can assist with this?

Thank you!

Hi,@AvinashPentyala .I am glad to help you.

Unfortunately, it seems that the data lineage functionality on Power BI Service is not directly available on Power BI Report Server (this functionality is in Workspace of Power BI Service, and Power BI Report Server does not have Workspace). Power BI Report Server doesn't have a Workspace)
I recommend that you
Use the REST API provided by Microsoft for Power BI Report Server: to programmatically get detailed information about reports, datasets, and data sources, and to build customized data lineage views.
This approach requires some programming skills on your team, and you will need to contact a programming-savvy member of your team to assist you in creating the data lineage for the report server.

Hopefully the API links below will help you out.

For whether there are relevant external tools that can help you implement data lineage in Power BI Report Server, I have not found any similar tools for the time being, I will continue to help you to find out whether there are relevant third-party tools, and I will keep you informed if I have any suitable suggestions.

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
