Data Lineage of reports and Dashboard

Hi Team,

 

Please guide me on how to extract metadata from a report or dashboard. I would need to get the list of columns used in report and need to know from which dataSource column used for the same.

 

Thank you

use tools like DAX Studio or ALM Toolkit or Power BI Helper to extract the meta data from the XMLA endpoint and to bring it into a usable format.

I doubt you can extract meta data from power bi service. You can down the pbix from service then change the extension on a PBIX file to .zip and open it like a normal zip folder to check the meta data and other information.
